DesignsandEvents: A Valentine Garland

Hey, there! I hope you don't mind one more Valentine post for 2019. I may have gone a bit overboard in that regard this year but, after all, I do love Valentine's Day!

Anyway, today I am sharing the easiest tutorial for making a Valentine garland ever!

I have been admiring some Valentine garlands that I have seen on Pinterest and other blogs recently and really wanted one of my own.

So, the first step was to go to Michael's to see what I could find in way of supplies. I had thought about buying some cardstock and a large heart paper punch to begin my project but, to my surprise, I found this package of Valentine's Day diecuts already made. They seemed perfect for what I wanted to do!

I purchased this spool of ribbon from Micheal's, as well. It was in the Valentine section of the store so, I knew I was on the right track :).

Next, I got out my glue gun and glued the heart shapes to the ribbon with tiny blobs of hot glue. The measurement between each heart on the ribbon was 3 1/4". You certainly could place them closer together if you'd like. It's all personal preference.

I alternated the two different kinds of hearts across the ribbon until it was the length I wanted. Of course, you can make the garland any length you would like. It is so, so easy!!

So, there you have it...my Valentine's Day garland. As you can see, it is super-easy to make.

I think I am going to check out diecuts more often. I often wondered what you were supposed to do with them. Were you supposed to use them like confetti? Use them to make cards? Now, I am thinking garlands are the way to go~
