DIY Paper Heart Garland for Valentine’s Day

If you are using Silhouette Cameo You can download my cut file in the post or use any heart from the Silhouette store!

If you are not using any cutting machine, that’s ok too. Skip the first step.

Just find a heart shape you like, set it to the size you want your hearts to be, and print one. Or if you have a large heart-shaped paper punch that works too.

Use that as your template to trace hearts onto your cardstock and cut them with scissors.

This craft is so easy you can do it with simple and basic tools too! I don’t leave out anyone!

BACK TO THE SILHOUETTE STEP.

First set the size you want the hearts to me and then cut a bunch of them. Cut as many hearts as you can on your mat.

All the light pink hearts cut on the silhouette cameo mat

I cut 20 hearts of each cardstock color. I made 3 sets of hearts in total. But you can also mix it up between smaller and larger heart sizes.

Once hearts are ready cute 2 threads of yarn about 2 yards each or longer if you want {you might need more hearts}

Make tight knots at the end of each yarn thread.

Make 2 cuts with your cuter about in the middle of each heart. You can use a paper punch or a yarn needle. I wanted the hearts tight in the yarn but I didn’t have a needle for yarn so I used a cutter to open up a space to insert the yarn through the heart.

ASSEMBLING THE PAPER HEART GARLAND

Insert the yarn from the back to the front and then to the back again.

Play with color patterns. I did it Pink-red-pink-gold-red-pink-red-gold.

Keep going until you fill each thread and leave about 10 inches on each end.

Then do the same for the other 2 threads!

There you go!!! Let’s decorate!
