Paper Hearts


When I saw these paper hearts at Jill's blog, I knew I'd be making a few. Book paper and hearts, what's not to love? A few strung together for a simple garland, and one more...



to hang from the dining room chandelier. Decorating for Valentine's Day is always minimal - but these are so sweet. 


Mine are a little smaller than Jill's - it's easy to adjust the size. Here's a link to the tutorial, and another one to see Jill's finished garland. Go on, make one, or two, or a whole string of them. Jill is making a flurry of them to adorn the backs of chairs at her daughter's wedding.

  4. Happy heart day to you Lorrie :) Looks like we will be seeing Darlene and her hubby in a few weeks. We are going to some of the alumni week end at Briercrest...what a great way to honor Colin with a memorial scholarship award. Ben is also checking out the Clipper hockey program at Briercrest.

  5. This is a great idea - I like the idea of using a paper other than the traditional red or pink, Thanks Lorrie.

  7. They are so pretty! I don't usually decorate for Valentine's Day but I save web site tutorials to use one day as arts and crafts with my grandson. This will be a keeper! Thanks!

Thank you for your comment. I read and value each one, cherishing the connections we can make although far apart. Usually, I visit your blog in return, although if you ask a question I try to contact you directly.
