DIY garland of hearts: a step-by-step description of manufacturing

Step 1

Cut out two sizes of heart templates from cardboard. I do not indicate the dimensions - they depend on your capabilities and imagination. I made templates for classic symmetrical hearts by folding cardboard in half. And you can make patterns with asymmetry.

Step 2

Circle the patterns on colored paper and cut out hearts of two sizes. If you have not thrown away the scraps of colored paper from previous work with children from the DIY section of the site, then they will be very useful to you now. Use them first!

Step 3

- Cut the thread to the desired size (the length of the garland plus the extra length for attaching the garland to the wall - 20 cm on each side).

- Decide on the color of large and small hearts for their combination. The color must not blend! It is best to choose contrasting colors - they look more bright and festive.

- to the heart bigger size lay the thread, leaving 20 cm at the beginning of the thread for hanging the garland.

— little heart grease with glue from the bottom side and stick it on a large heart prepared with a thread.

- Step back 1.5 - 2 cm from the glued hearts and repeat the same technological operation.

- Repeat this technique until the thread runs out (at the end of which leave 20 cm free to attach the garland to the wall).

Here it is ready paper heart horizontal garland !

And can you do vertical garland of hearts . To do this, you need to glue large and small hearts together so that the thread between them is directed from top to bottom in the center. You can make multiple threads. Such a garland will look good if you hang a few threads on a doorway or window.

Decorate your home with garlands. Admire your beauty and make your loved ones, the people dearest to you, happy with it!
