i made this heart garland last week after seeing it on my friend Laura's blog, and we've only had it up for a few days but already i can't even remember how we ever celebrated valentine's day without it! i made two strands and one of them is hanging above our dining table, which i love love love. i swear everything just tastes better when you get to eat it under a garland made of hearts.one of these days i might actually give in and get myself a sewing machine, but for this i just hand-stitched the felt hearts together using twine and a tapestry needle, and also added some red pompoms just for fun. sooo ready for valentine's day. :)
it turned out darling! maybe I'll give making my own a whirl
ReplyDeleteAw it came out so cute! I actually really love that it's hand-stitched, too.
ReplyDeletethis is such a fun and adorable idea!
ReplyDeletei have been planning on getting those letters to put above our bed (A&D), i love how you have spaced them really close together. so pretty!
p.s. cute outfit!!

ReplyDeletehand-stitched with love <3 i've been thinking about getting a mini sewing machine just for projects like these.
ReplyDeleteps: i have been wanting just the "&" symbol for the longest time. i can only dream of such things filling up my bookshelves ;)
