Welcome to Valentine's Day Craft Week here on
Lavender and Limes. I have EIGHT original projects to share with you over the course of this week! We'll start off nice and easy today with a tutorial on how to make a patterned paper Valentine's garland.
Step 1: Choose an assortment of patterned and colored paper. Decide on the size that you would like your flags and cut out around 12 triangles. For that special Valentine's touch, cut hearts out of thin, translucent paper, and using Mod Podge, glue them to the patterned paper.
Step 2: Thread your sewing machine with colored thread (I chose a pretty fuchsia color). Sew your flags together leaving extra thread in between each flag.
Step 3: Step back and admire your handiwork! This garland is perfect as a party decoration, or simply for adding a little love to your inspiration board!
Side note: I still have not heard from the
India Giveaway winner:
