DIY ~ Polka Dots & Gold Sparkly Heart Double Sided Garland

Ok folks this one is beyond easy! I wanted a garland that looked as good on the back as it did on the front- so I used glue instead of sewing it together.

All You Need Is - sorry I got ahead of myself & started before taking a picture

2 different kinds of paper {I used card stock from michaels}

heart punch {also bought at michaels}

string {I used yellow bakers twine} 

glue

1 ~  start by punching out your hearts- 

I bought a heart with a scalloped edge for a more vintage-y look 

{I did 14 plain gold & 12 polka dot gold- remember these are double sided}

2 ~ measure your string & then fold it in 

half so you have a center point to start with

3 ~ spread glue all over one of your hearts - 

{use your little helper if you have one - that way you can spare your hands}

4 ~ set the center of your string in the center of your heart 

making sure the string sits straight across your heart

5 ~ add your top heart- 

if your heart is scalloped- make sure the edges match up

6 ~ set a book on top of your hearts & 

apply a little pressure for about 10- 20 seconds to help set the glue 

7 ~ use your book as a measuring guide if you like it's width- 

I set my book at the side of my first finished heart then repeated steps 3~ 4 ~ 5 then 6

on the other side of the book 

{the string is under the book- remember to pull the string taught so all your hearts are even}

since you started the garland with the first heart in the middle of your string- make sure

you finish 6 heart on the right side of your middle heart & 6 hearts on the left side of your middle heart

 that's it- so simple & so quick!
