I found this fabulous idea through this Inspiring Blog. Check out her spin on the matchbook Valentine.

Valentine’s Day is approaching fast. I am in need of some inexpensive decor for my house. These are so cute and what I like about them is my kids can do them with me and if they get pulled down, or broken, I won’t care…that much. 

Directions:

Cut colored paper into 3/4″ strips. Fold them in half, or if you want some hearts that are twice as big, splice two strips of paper together at the bottom of each heart with double stick tape. Curl the loose ends around a chopstick or pen.

String the heart garland together from the bottom up.  You can get string from a fabric store or use thread.  Push your threaded needle up through the bottom fold of each heart, then use double stick tape to sandwich the thread between the two halves of the curled tops.

Tada! Beautiful for your house (I think I’ll hang them from my chandelier in my kitchen, or in your cubicle at work… aka Cammie, you’re welcome.)

 
Have fun!

I found a free Valentine’s Day printable at How About Orange

I am going to let my 3 year old pass these out at his preschool Valentine’s Day party next week.  What a great alternative to just a Valentine’s Day card. I ♥ them!

We are making small heart shaped sugar cookies that will fit perfectly in these bags.

All in all, I felt like I pulled off some OK Christmas trees this year. (Considering I have never done my own before) I am not to Debs status yet but one day… one day…. I will create the fullest, garland-fied, adorned tree you have ever seen. I know someone who has had to wire her tree to the wall it was so packed. With any luck I will get there. BRING ON THE WIRES, HOOKS, and NAILS people!!!
