When parties and holidays come around it has become a little tradition of mine to make and hang a festive garland in my home. Today I took some time to put together a cute little Valentines Day garland for our dining room window.
Would you like to make one too? I knew you would!! This is what I did.

Supplies:
- Burlap
- Acrylic paint
- small paintbrush
- scissors
- heart shaped template
- yarn
- cardstock paper
- ruler
- pencil
1. I made a hand drawn banner template using cardstock paper, ruler and pencil. Then I used it to cut out my burlap banner pieces. 2. I placed a plastic heart template on the piece of burlap. 3. I painted a heart on each piece of burlap using pink acrylic paint. 4. After I painted and allowed the burlap banner sheets to dry. I folded the top of the fabric and sewed it onto the yarn with a scalloped stitch. It can also be hand-sewn or hot glued.
When I finished sewing all the banner sheets onto the yarn, I hung it in place and attached paper flowers made from coffee filters that I had made weeks before. You on the other hand can use artificial flowers from the dollar store. Or you can make your own paper flowers twisting the coffee filter and dipping it into alcohol ink.
And done!! How freaken cute is that!!
Have fun Crafting!! Don't forget to stop by and share your beautiful creation, I would love to see!!
XO, NANCY!!
