a pretty little heart garland

It seems that February has made its arrival...let the reds and pinks and hearts and cupid's arrows and mushy valentine's things commence! But it's rather fun to get caught up in it all, don't you think? Here's a little tutorial for a heart garland to get you into the valentine's mood.



heart garland

what you'll need

-paint chips (available at any home improvement or paint store)
-book pages/newspaper
-scissors
-tape
-pencil
-thread



directions

1. Trace hearts on the paint chips and book pages -- I cut out one I liked, then used it as a template for the others.

2. Cut out hearts -- I had about thirty.

3. Tape or glue hearts onto the thread.

4. Hang wherever you'd like to spread valentine's cheer!




This is a super easy sweet project to brighten up any part of your home...it's perfect to do while watching a movie (or in my case, Downton Abbey. so in love!).

Enjoy!

much love,
carlotta

    The photos are dreamy.
    And I swear, I'm the only girl in England who hasn't watched Downton Abbey. I guess I should remedy that?

    Oh, I love it! Love all the things you can do with paint chips. And these are so cheerful and bright! And my dad ordered Downtown Abbey for us (um, slightly surprised, his idea. who would have thought?), it arrived today and we're watching this weekend. Can't wait to start, it looks so good!

    Cute! Too bad I can't really multi-task when watching TV... I'd probably end up cutting my finger instead, or missing parts of the dialogue, which drives me crazy.
    And yes, Downton Abbey is my newest obsession. It makes the end of the weekend something to look forward to! :)

    I'm making that! We are building a new house, so there are paint chips all over the house right now, which is rather opportune, no? :)
