Mini Valentine Garland

~Mini Heart Garlands~

SUPPLIES

1. Red and white card stock or thick construction paper
2. Scissors
3. Glue (thick craft glue or a glue gun)
4. Red and white twine or embroidery thread
5. Pencil
6. Small piece of cardboard (like an index card, for the templates)
   

DIRECTIONS

• Start by making a two small heart templates (using a bit of extra card stock or cardboard). One should be slightly larger than the other in size.

• Trace the desired number of both heart sizes onto both your red and white card stock. You should end with either one extra large heart or one extra small heart (example, 9 large hearts and 8 small hearts) in each color.
  

• Cut the traced hearts out and lay them on a flat surface to determine desired spacing.
  

• Cut a length of contrasting thread for each set of hearts (red twine for white paper hearts and white twine for the red paper hearts) leaving several extra inches on each end for hanging.
  

• Using a dab of glue, secure each heart to twine at predetermined intervals. Allow to dry.
  

• Hang garlands across a window, over a mirror, attached to a wall with tacks, draped over a banister etc...
