Fun and cute projects for Valentines Day. Hope you enjoy these!

Heart-to-Heart Garland

Make a garland of hearts cut from fabric scraps layered and attached with iron-on

adhesive. Punch small holes in the sides of the hearts and tie them together with

ribbon

Cascading Hearts

Fold a long, narrow strip of paper accordion-style. Sketch a heart pattern on the

folded paper, extending the pattern slightly beyond the edges so the hearts

stay attached when cut. Cut the outline of the heart pattern, and unfold. Secure a

group of paper chains to a lampshade using transparent tape.

Heart-Shape Pouches

Treat your valentine with a pouch of treasures, whether it's a cluster of posies or a

handful of candy.

Trace two same-size heart shapes onto pretty paper or cardstock; cut out. Cut more

hearts in graduated sizes from contrasting paper, and use spray adhesive or a

simple running stitch to attach to the front of the pouch. Stack the two main hearts

with wrong sides together. Starting at one side near the top, use a sewing machine

to zigzag-stitch around the edge, leaving top open; trim edges. Punch holes near top

of pouch. Thread ribbons through and knot to secure.
