Today was crazy busy getting ready for a little Vday party we were holding for the kids. They loved it! Will post more on that tomorrow. I did manage to sneak it some cuddle time with my VERY NEEDY very cute little man...
Heres one of the things i made for our little party. It's heart bunting...yes i'm sure you've seen it before, it's definitley not an original idea. I, however, dont know how to use a sewing machine, so my buntings hand-sewn (which sounds hard, but is really really easy! Promise!)
Heres what you need:
some twine
pretty paperbook pages...anything you can cut a heart out of :)
needle with a hole large enough to fit twine in
scissors
step 1: cut your hearts out of the papers. You can use a template if you want, but i just wimged it with mine. Adds more character if they're not all the same. I think anyways ;)
Cut out as many as you need. I did 7 strings with 6-7 hearts on each. I did alot because we used it as a photo backdrop.
Step 2: Cut your twine to the desired lenghth. Thread it through the needle but don't double it. Tie a knot at the bottom so your bottom heart doesn't fall off.
Step 3: Thread your twine through the centre of your hearts. I put a hole at the bottom point and the top point. You can use a peice of foam (sit it under the hearts) to poke the holes a little more easily.
Thread as many hearts as you want onto each piece of twine. When your done, just hang them! I was originally going to hang mine from a piece of driftwood that i'd painted white.
