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

January 27, 2016 at 4:50 pmThis 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!

January 27, 2016 at 9:23 pmHi 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
