A Valentine re-post

I hope nobody will mind me re-posting this. I've had a couple of e-mails about it so I thought maybe it would be worth re posting. If you end up making one of these garlands, I'd love to see pics.

Supplies Needed

• Free printables (page 1, page 2)  Click to download

STEP 1

  Use the ugly gray heart as your template for the cardstock hearts
• You will need 4 red and three brown
• Ink the edges of red hearts
  Glue printed hearts onto cardstock with adhesive
  

STEP 2

Get ready or a lot of folding

• Cut your book pages so they are 3 inches wide
• Start folding, I made my folds about 1/4"
• Each round medallion will take 4 pages
• Staple them together at the ends
  
  

STEP 3

• Staple them together in a circle

STEP 4

• Hold center together and glue with hot glue gun
• Ink the edges and top of folds
  

STEP 5

• Using a dvd as a template cut out 7 white circles

Now you should have a beautiful valentine garland.
The hardest part of this is definitely the folding.
