Paper Roses -Tutorial (my favourite so far!!)

I am so inspired by this fantastic tutorial that I am busying myself with making heaps of paper roses to sprinkle all around the shop. Be sure to pop by for a sneaky look and to see what other delights I have been crafting!

'Oodles of Hearts' Garland - Tutorial

This fabulous Heart Garland is the ingenious concept by Onto Baby.

1. For each heart, cut seven strips from thick paper or card stock in the following lengths: 2 * 6.5 inches, 2 * 5.25 inches, 2 * 4.5 inches and 1 * 2 inches. Layer one of each of the three lengths together (the longer length on the outside) and staple the pieces together at the bottom so that the two shorter pieces are facing each other in the middle of the bundle.

2. Then form a heart shape, combining identical strips together, place the 2 inch strip f paper on the middle and staple at the inner point.

3. Once you have enough hearts to form the length of garland you require, punch a hole in the top of the 2 inch strip of paper.

4. String the hearts together, through the punched holes, with thick string or ribbon and make a loop at both ends. Hang using hook nails.

Et Voila!
