A simple craft project to brighten up your house for Valentines day!
I had this great idea to ask my kids to help me make this garland, I remember doing crepe paper craft when I was little and loved doing it, however after not even doing one heart they had all had enough of scrunching up crepe paper so off they went :(
I ended up finishing the rest of the hearts and was glad when I stuck that last little ball on! Simple but time consuming!
Firstly make a template
Trace them out on card stock or I just used empty cereal boxes.
I choose 7 (4 red & 3 pink)
I brought a roll of crepe paper but you can use the folded crepe paper you just have to cut it it strips first.
I cut my strips at about 10cm
And start scrunching!
I used PVA craft glue to stick the balls on.
They look so cute
Next I used twine, you could use ribbon also.
Attach the twine to the back of the hearts, I just used sticky tape and spaced them out evenly.
To hang the garland I use the command hooks :)
That's it easy peasy! Don't ask your kids to help they won't last long LOL!
