As I was decorating for Valentine’s day I kept thinking my display was looking a little flat.  It need more oomph….more pizzaz.  It needed something on the wall, so I whipped up this simple heart garland!

To make your own Valentine’s day garland you will need:

• Foam hearts (I bought this package of hearts from a craft store.  If you can’t find something similar you can buy sheets of foam and cut out hearts.)
• Ribbon
• Hot glue gun
• Hole punch
• Scissors

My red doily hearts are slightly smaller than the white hearts.  To create a nice layered look I hot glued the red hearts on top of the white hearts.

Then I punched two holes in the top outer edges of the hearts.

To connect the hearts; I tied them together with ribbon.

There, now  doesn’t that look nice?

I even made little letters for my mailbox by cutting out rectangles from the extra foam hearts and drawing on them with a black sharpie.

Oh, and those wooden conversation hearts bring back fun memories of elementary school Valentine’s Day parties!
