Hanging Paper Hearts

Here is a fun Valentine decor-craft you can do with your kids.

You will need:

patterned papers, cardstock (I used the 12 by 12 size)

Scissors, paper cutter

curling ribbon or other ribbon

stapler

(hole punch- optional)

Cut the paper w/ the paper cutter into 1 inch strips. For variety, you can cut some larger.

To make a heart: fold a strip right in the middle and crease it. Then bring the ends together and staple, forming a heart. You can add another smaller heart in the middle or make larger hearts by using two strips of paper. You can also use two strips together when making a heart, so you have a pattern on both sides.

Staple or tie curling ribbon to hearts to hang up. You can also use a hole punch to punch a hole for the ribbon to go through.

Be creative! We made hearts in all different arrangements and hung them from our

ever-so-not-pretty kitchen light! It made it look lots better- and much more l-o-v-ely!

Happy Valentine's Day!
