The industry surrounding Valentine’s Day is massive, and people spend millions each year on flowers, chocolates, and cards. Hang your heart garland over your windows to celebrate the holiday in style! Weave your string through each heart, and tie knots behind each hole to avoid slippage. This is where you can get really creative! Use rhinestones to cover each heart or create patterns on each heart. The hole should be big enough to fit the string. You’re not restricted to “Valentine’s” colors-use what makes you happy! Use your drill to carefully drill a small hole on each side of the hearts-place the hole higher on the heart, close to the top. Paint your wooden hearts with acrylic paint. The more complicated (and durable) project uses wooden hearts, but you could adapt this using felt. If you’re the type of person who loves to decorate the whole house for holidays, this heart garland is a wonderful project that you can use each year. Use flat-backed rhinestones to adorn each individual nail head. Make sure you wrap tightly! Once you’re done, tie off the end and snip away the excess.
Use more embroidery floss to start crisscrossing across nails to “fill in” your heart. Make sure you use all six strands for a stronger connection-it’s less likely to break.
Now come the strings and things! Tie your embroidery floss around one nail, and wrap around each nail to create an outline of your heart.
Place nails evenly and fairly close together. Don’t hammer them in all the way because you’ll eventually need to wrap string around the nails. Carefully cut out your template and tape it to your wood plank.Ĭarefully hammer in your nails around the heart pattern. If you want to paint or stain your wood plank, do that before doing anything else because that’s the base of your project.īefore you can start hammering, you’ll want to find a heart template online and print it out.
