Hanging Heart Strings

Are these hanging heart strings so precious!?  I love adding height to my decorations and this is a really easy project that anyone can do.  I simply used paper to cut out a bunch of hearts.  Then, I found this pretty yarn from Michaels and simply attached it to the hearts using a glue gun.  I found that all I needed was tape to hang these, but you can use tacks if you need.

Hanging Heart Strings 

Yarn

paper

scissors

glue gun; you should be able to do this with regular glue as well, but it will take a lot longer to dry

Instructions 

*Fold a piece of paper in half and draw the shape of half a heart on the fold

*Use the scissors to cut the hearts out

*Repeat until you have your desired amount of hearts

*Lay the hearts out onto the counter and place a drop of glue onto it; this side will be the back

*Place the yarn onto the hearts where the glue is (see pictures below)

*Allow to dry

*Hang on the wall using tape or a tack

*You can also hang these from the ceiling for a really fun look

*If you want the look of the big hearts that I have hanging I drew a heart shape onto cardboard and cut it out with an x-acto knife; painted it; then hung it with tape
