paper hearts

valentine's day is tomorrow and i did a really cute and simple project with paper hearts. last year i had a valentines day dessert party and i cut out tons of paper hearts from cute scrapbook paper. my ex-roomate took several of the hearts and made a paper heart streamer type of thing. it wasn't the first time i had seen this idea, but i had never tried it myself. this year i made some of my own.

i started with valentines themed scrap booking paper and cut out about forty hearts. i then organized them into a pattern. i made two streamers, twenty hearts each. i simply sewed through the hearts, leaving about a three inch gap between each heart. it's an easy, inexpensive valentine's day craft.

happy valentine's day!

if you're a perfectionist (kinda like me...) and you want an exact measurement between the hearts, you can tape a ruler to your sewing machine like i did
