diy valentine’s day decorative garland

I recently hosted a Valentine’s Day Party (which you’ll be able to see here). With myriads of options out there for Valentine’s Day decorations, I decided to go with something simple yet festive. With all of the other party planning to do’s on my checklist, simple = one less thing to worry about for the big party. This literally only took me about 20 minutes to make, so it’s a great “go to” if you’re in a time crunch. All you need to make my DIY Valentine’s Day garland is the following:

4 – 8 different Valentine’s print scrapbook paper (go get it at Hobby Lobby where scrapbook paper is 50% once a month!)
Baker’s twine, or something similar (yarn or ribbon will do as well)
Scissors
Hole punch

And, here’s how to make them!

First, print out my circle and heart templates (see below), cut them out and trace them multiple times onto your Valentine’s scrapbook paper. My garland has 8 circles with 8 hearts.
Next, cut out your circles and hearts.
Glue a heart on each of the circles.
With your hole punch, punch two holes above the heart approximately 1/2″ apart.
Then take your baker’s twine and weave it in an out of the hole punches in each of the circles.
Depending on where you want to hang the garland, you can slide each circle into place to make it as long or as short as needed.
Voila! An adorable Valentine’s Day garland that is super simple.
