Heart Garland

Here is an easy extra you can make last minute for Valentine's Day, a bridal shower, tea party, wedding and/or wedding reception,  a paper garland of hearts. You can even use recycled paper, just turn the printed side inward.

Cut strips of paper, 1/2 to 1 inch wide. I used pink and purple. The longer the strips, the bigger the hearts. Staple two strips together at the top and bend around to form a heart. Staple at the bottom. Add two more strips to each side of the bottom staple, being sure the new strips point toward the top of the heart. Staple the new strips to the old strips over the bottom staple and curve the new strips down to form another heart. Continue in this manner to make your garland as long as you want.

Wear as a crown, a necklace, swag it or put around the base of a potted plant or vase of flowers. Decorate the world with heart garland!
