Don't you LOVE Valentine's Day?
I think it is one of the most special days of the year to celebrate those you love.
To make it, all you need is newspaper and your sewing machine loaded with pink or red thread. I left white in the bobbin for a mixed look.
It takes about 10 minutes to make, so it is a quick and easy craft.
Cut out several hearts out of the newspaper.
Mine are around 4 inches tall.
Leaving a long thread to attach the garland, start sewing straight across the top of the first heart.
Just keep going until you have the desired length.
So simple and fun....you will be making them like crazy!

I would have never thought to sew the newspaper. But, honestly, it looks really cute.
The garland is charming. What type and weight of thread did you use?
Torchy, I used a light weight all purpose thread. If you use heavy thread, it may tear the paper :).
That is so cute! I love it and just might have to make one as well! I love all your creative ideas! Thanks for sharing!!
Julia, this just inspired me to go home and spread some 'heart' cheer around our home. I also wanted to say sorry about the passing of your Father. You have been in my thoughts.
Very cute! I was looking for a quick and easy project for my sewing class on Saturday - I may just borrow this idea! Thank you!
This is so cute! I'm inspired!!! Thanks so much for sharing and Happy "LOVE" day!
Your thread looks like bakers twine. How cute!
I love Valentines Day too. Such a wonderful day to celebrate. Thinking of you during this time of your daddy's passing.
Hugs!
