Valentine Garland

Valentine Garland | Alex Inspired

Tis’ almost Valentine’s Day!

I really have no idea how to decorate for Valentine’s Day, without it looking like something from a kindergarten class. I love glitter…card stock and doilies.

I toned it down and decided since Target is bidding adieu, I scooped up some glittered paper from their famous dollar bins!

I picked out pink and red glittered paper, with two sheets per package. I wasn’t entirely sure what to do with it… so I grabbed my one inch paper punch and my scalloped heart punch and went to town.

The Valentine garland is easy-peasy and pairs with wine nicely (you really can’t screw up).

Take each circle, run it through the machine one at a time using a straight stitch.

I hung mine off my chalkboard, and my favourite Owl Print.

OK, once this heart holiday is over it means we’re one step closer to Christmas! mwahaha!

I've run off with his car, gone back to my ma and pa, telling tales of parrot heads and parties...
