Valentine's Day is right around the corner and everything is coming up hearts. Now, I love crocheting hearts year round, but it gets kicked up a notch in the weeks leading up to Valentine's Day. Rather than making a 3 ft or even 12 ft garland (I don't have the patience for that haha!), I went with a 12" mini garland. This way, I could hang it on a message board or something similar without it getting in the way of, well, the messages.
I started off crocheting a set of 6 hearts. You can find my tutorial here. I whipped up these little pretties during my lunch hour so once you get the hang of it, it doesn't take long at all.
I then measured out 12" of mint and white polka dot ribbon (Dear Lizzy via American Crafts) and lined up my hearts.
....and then I realized, "How am I going to connect these to the ribbon?" Originally, I thought I would sew the hearts onto the ribbon, but being at work I didn't have my sewing machine (haha). Instead, I kept the tails of the hearts and tied them up in a bow onto the ribbon. I think it worked well. =)
Here is the final garland :)
Super easy and quick to whip up--my kind of craft!
Happy crafting!
