Ester Desir Hey there! Want to create a lovely Valentine’s Day garland to add a warm touch to your home? Let me walk you through the steps!
First, gather all the materials you’ll need for making the garland. If you’re up to it, you can make the felt shapes yourself or order them in coordinating colors on Etsy. Keep in mind you’ll need to order enough felt shapes if you want them close together. The more space between each felt shape, the less you will need to make the desired length and style.
What you’ll need:
- Felt balls & hearts in various colors
- Cotton twine
- Doll needle
You can create your desired pattern based on your preferred colors and felt shapes. Mix and match colors to create a vibrant look.
Next, thread the hearts and balls onto the twine in the order of your pattern. You can do this using a doll needle, making threading the twine through the small holes in the felt easier. You can leave space between each felt shape or keep them close.
Following your pattern, repeat it until you have the desired garland size. Make it long enough to hang across a wall, a window, or a door frame.
Now, you can hang your Valentine’s Day garland and enjoy your handiwork! Your felt heart and ball garland will add a lovely touch to any room in your home, and it’s a fun and easy craft project you can do with your loved ones.
