Valentine's Day Hanging Heart Garland
I saw a Valentine's Day Heart Garland tutorial on One Hour Craft and decided to make my own and I love it! I opted to make mine from fabric rather than paper.
I used 4" toile fabric squares and fused two together using fusible interfacing web. I then cut out the hearts and pinned them to freezer paper. I sewed down the middle of the hearts and also added a ribbon on the top so they could be hung.
A more detailed tutorial, plus more descriptive pictures is in the sidebar to the right and here.
It was a lot of fun, easy, and fast. Thanks One Hour Craft!
This is so cute! Thanks for sharing! :)

Thank you for the great idea. I have agreed with stephi and stayed in to avoid the Chicago cold. My own mobile is the result. I'd be honored if you took a look at it here.

Hey i ran across your blog on Stacy Sews! good work! but what caught my eye the most is the fact you live in Wisconsin. My husband announced to me about 10 days ago, there is a good possibility we will be relocating there from 30something years in Nebraska!
How can i live my faithful Huskers.....oh yeah i get Brett!!!!
anyway I know nothing about the state, weather, activities, touring etc! could you fill me in?
We enjoy lots of things, being outdoors, i love riding my bicycle, jogging, sewing, scrapbooking, flea markets, etc. I am not much of a reader other than craft magazines or Everyday with Racheal Ray. We have three kids, but will only be bringing 1 and that is a big if! she will start college next fall. the other two are in college already.
so yeah I read your blog and i understand part of your heart when you are frowning about the baby.....i always wanted twins, and then my sister-in-law got pregnant with twins, i pretty much hated her for awhile. They are brats, mine would have been good!!!! heehee on her!
anyway I add you to my favs and will check back to see how life in Wisconsin is:
good crafts!

What a cute idea. My daughter would enjoy this. We may try it this weekend because with the wind chill factor here in Chicago expected to be about minus 10-degrees, I think we will be indoors this weekend.

It's so cute! Your idea of using fabric instead of paper is lovely detail and gives it a bit more body to the hearts.

I love this technique of using the freezer paper to end up with a thread chain between the items!! Great job...you did an excellent job of explaining everything, and I love the fabric you chose for the hearts!
