Paper Heart

Keeping up with my Pinterest project theme, the next project I chose to do was in preparation for Valentine's day. My boyfriend is not too keen on decorating for holidays other than Halloween and Christmas, but after a trip to the dollar aisle at Target I won him over with robot Valentine gel clings.
Can't beat that for a dollar!
Anyways on to the project! SO EASY!
Supplies:
8-12 strips of paper 11"X2"
12" of ribbon
Craft glue

Fold each strip of paper in half, the short way. Apply glue to one of the ends facing outward, curl both ends of paper in towards the fold and glue to each other. Repeat to make all your hearts. Arrange hearts in a circle.

Then begin gluing each heart to the one beside it. I found it easiest to just glue into pairs first. Before you glue all of them, glue in place one end of your ribbon to each side of a pair. Then finally, complete the circle. Viola! A beautiful wreath for you to hang on your door, and I'm fairly sure that you probably have all the supplies you need on hand already.
I think I will try making a shamrock when St. Patrick's Day comes around.
