2.Heart Garlands
Things You Will Need:
-Small Box
-Scissors
-Jute/Yarn
-Twine
-Hot Glue Gun
What to Do:
Step 1: Cut out heart shapes from your moving box
Step 2: To get that heart garland affect, wrap jute or yarn around your heart and secure it in place by using a hot glue gun.
Step 3: Thread the twine through your hearts and your garland is ready to be placed wherever you please!
Tip: If you want to make your garland more decorative, you can create pom-poms in between your hearts. To begin, wrap the yarn 30-35 times around your palm. Then use a separate piece of yarn to tie the wrapped yarn in the center. This will create two loops on either end. Once you have done this, use scissors to cut both ends of the loop, creating a pom-pom effect. You can stick the pom-poms on by gluing them to the twine after you thread your hearts.
