supplies needed for Valentine’s Day Heart Garland:

Scrapbook paper with desired pattern (hearts, etc.)
Pink solid cardstock
Hot glue gun or glue stick
Scissors

instructions:

Start by folding your solid pink cardstock length wise and cut into strips. You don’t have to measure each strip out to be exactly the same, it won’t be noticeable.

Next, cut the patterned scrapbook paper into strips. If the strips are too long, cut them in half so the chains aren’t too big in size.

Now on to making the garland. Start by creating a heart with the solid pink cardstock by folding the paper in half and inverting the ends onto each other. Glue those ends together. Continue alternating between solid pink hearts and regular chains from patterned scrapbook paper. You can use a glue stick or a hot glue gun to glue your pieces of paper together. *Hot glue gun should only be operated by an adult*.
