Heart Garland

February 4, 2012 by Holly Gagnon 20 Comments

I saw this cute Heart Garland on Pinterest and of course I just had to make one myself.
Easy Heart Garland

Heart Garland

So simple to make and I didn’t even use my Cricut….Bleekk!

Here’s how I made mine:

7 -1 ” strips stacked in this order:
 8″-6″-4″-6″-4″-6″-8″

TIP: Arrange 3 pattern strips facing one way & then face the other 3 strips the opposite way.

Attach all the strips together at one end.
Bend the other unattached ends into a heart shape and adhere to the middle 6″ length.
Heart Garland

I strung the hearts on a raffia ribbon and added a pearl heart in the middle of each one.

I’m kind of digging the  non-traditional Valentines colors, may just have to keep it hanging up all year round.

Easy Heart Garland.  Love the Rustic Look!

    This banner was recently shown on Instagram and I love it by @howdoesshe and I love it! Not to be dumb, but (and obviously I’m not much of a crafter) how do you attach the strips together (at the bottom and the top point of the heart)? Just glue? Tape? It looks so clean. Thanks!

      Hi Ellen. My Heart Garland actual has a picture tutorial that goes along with it. Here’s the lin: https://www.ribbonsandglue.com/heart-garland-tutorial.html I used Glue Strips to hold mine together but hot glue would work great too or any double sided tape. Thanks! Holly
