Paper Heart Garland

Here is an easy heart garland project that is a cinch to make if you have a vinyl cutter, a heart hole punch, or you just like to cut hearts! You'll be glad you did!

First I used my Cricut Joy to cut 2" hearts from 3 different colors of card stock

You can also use a heart paper punch that is about the same size.

Once all my hearts were cut, I folded each heart in half.

You will also need some kind of string, I used red and white baker's twine in 6" pieces.

I glued 2 hearts together on one side of the fold using hot glue.

Next, I added the twine with a knot in the center so the open ends of the twine were sticking out the top of the heart.

I then glued on the 3rd heart.

This forms a triangle heart with twine sticking out the top and a knot at the bottom.

Once all my hearts were finished I tied each one to a length of jute twine with a knot.

You can use ribbon at this point but I like the look of the jute. 



So easy and you only use 1/2 a piece of card stock in each color.

It reminds me of a heart garland and wreath I made with my PreK class a few years ago.

Speaking of colors, I love neutrals so I made another garland using off white, light grey, and a dark red hearts.

For this garland I used a cotton twine that was about 8" long so I could tie the heart to my jute with a large bow.

I added the heart garland to the hook shelf in my office along with a book page garland I made several years ago.

Paper hearts and heart garlands are so easy and inexpensive to make and I love the organic look rather than the hot pink and glitter decorations.
