Heart garland



 To create this heart garland, you'll need an old book that you can cut up, a stapler, scissors, ribbon, twine, and a paper trimmer. Cut at least 36 1 inch strips of book text. You'll also need little pieces about 1 inch by 1/4 inch (these will be the tabs that stick out of the hearts to which we'll attach the ribbon).




                                                                     
     







 Take 3 strips together and fold them in half.










 Take a small tab, fold it in half, then stick it open side down into the folded side of the paper strips. Staple together as shown.












Fold each piece down to form 3 hearts.













 Staple at the bottom, Cut off the excess paper at the bottom of the heart below the staple.





Attach ribbon to each heart then attach to twine. I tied a knot around each ribbon so my hearts would stay in place. 




Hang up and admire!




I also made one out of pages from a comic book. It's pretty cute, too!
