Paper Heart Garland

One of the items on my Christmas wish list, that I provided to my husband, was jute twine.  My husband no longer questions my list and knowing that he could go to Home Depot and buy twine suited him even better.

My husband obviously knows the way to my heart...jute twine.


With my jute twine in hand, I made a simple garland to add to our Valentine's day decor.  I cut out some red hearts (by hand...can you believe it!), secured them to the twine with miniature clothes pins and strung it up.


I am thinking, I may even add 'I love you' in different languages to each heart.


Or, maybe I'll write, I love jute twine...er, I mean, my husband onto the hearts.

  2. Adorable! Great and easy Valentine's Day decor! My family all give me Home Depot or Menards gift cards in place of gifts. But when I make a list I always add sanding discs to it because I go through so many of those.

  9. So cute, so simple and easy...perfect for a little helper too! And I adore the mini clothespins! I made a Valentine's Day flag garland and used them so string the flags on a length of lace.

  13. I still have my garland up from Christmas...bad Sarah! You can't tell though unless you get up, close, and personal to the paper. Hearts would be sweet as a replacement :)

  15. Very sweet and cute. And I understand completely about the jute twine. Every time I find it in a store, it's like finding an ancient artefact, untouched by modern times!

  16. Cute! It looks perfect hung up on your door like that. I LOVE the idea of writing 'I love you' in different languages... I say go for that. And I can't believe you cut your hearts out by hand.. they all look exactly the same!
