Have each family member write on their hearts all the things that they love!I loved seeing the things my family came up with. Some of my favorites were some of the most random – Xbox, avocados, legos…my kids had a blast with this! For the kids who are too young to spell, have them draw their pictures. (The pictures my 4-year-old drew of mom and dad are priceless!) While looking for Valentine's day garland ideas we came across so many beautiful designs. Valentine garlands can come in different textures, lengths, colors, hearts, tassels, pom-poms, and so on. Do you use garland in your home? I love a good garland! I currently have no mantel in my home but I can always find use for a pretty garland. Today, I am going to show you how to make an easy Valentine’s garland. Cut out each heart and give them out to your family members. I printed out enough hearts for each member to have 3 of their own hearts, but depending on the size of your familyyou might want to cutmore or less to make sure your Valentine’s garland is nice and full.

Due to the fact that I make blankets, I always have a ton of fabric in my house. If you don’t have fabric on hand, might I suggest, asking your family and friends if they have fabric or ribbon scraps on hand. You can also hit the fabric leftover bins at your local craft store. Also, the dollar store is a great resource for holiday ribbon. Place more glue on the fabric at the middle of the heart and stretch the bottom corner up to the middle. If you are making your way over to my cottage from my friend, Cindy from County Road 407, a big Michigan welcome to you! Didn’t she share a pretty updated vintage look for her centerpiece?! Such a delightful idea! Add them to a basket or tray, hang them as part of a wall gallery, add them to a bookshelf, etc. There are so many fun possibilities.

Next, I sewed the hearts with the correct side facing each other. Sewing almost all the way around, I then pulled the fabric right side out and then stuffed with my cottan batting. You can sew the opening by hand, however, I just ran my sewing machine across the opening, to close it off. Step 3 – Braid the Twine & Attach Hearts Now comes the fun part! Grab all those strips of fabric and ribbon you cut in the beginning. Gather up 6-8 pieces and tie in between each heart. After you have wrapped both sides of the pom-pom maker, this is where the sharp and pointed scissors come in. Here is another fun upcycled project with toilet paper roll cores. Make these cute hearts and turn them into the perfect Valentines Day garland for your mantel.

I’m not going to give you a detailed step-by-step tutorial myself because the video already does that. I can tell you that making pom-poms is a great project to do while watching TV.
