PAPER HEARTS

Just a little something for Valentine's Day . . .
A couple winters ago, "McKinney Jan" and I made a bunch of these paper hearts.  I came home, put them away, and kind of forgot I had them.  I don't know how that happened because I love how they turned out!  Well, I found them again when I was sorting and sifting my way through my craft supplies!  What great timing!  We made them out of paper lunch bags and old book pages - kind of like a sandwich.  We just put the pieces together and ran them through the sewing machine.  Easy as can be!

Paper bag heart + batting + Paper bag heart + book page heart = stuffed paper hearts

So I got out a length of hemp string and put a little dab of hot glue on the back of each heart leaving about 6 inches between each one.
 Like this . . .
 Then a little dab of hot glue at either end of the mantel to hold it up there.
(Yes, on the mantel.  I do stuff like that.)

 And it's done!
Now, to bring a little valentine-ness to the rest of the house . . .
