Hanging Heart Decorations

Today I have a hanging heart craft. These were fun and leave a lot of space for creativity. 

For the basics here's what you need:

heart template

paper

scissors

string

glue

Extra Optional Supplies

beads to put on the strings (pictured center above)

other kinds of paper or print outs of photographs, I printed some vacation photos to incorporate

First I did a google image search for hearts and picked out a heart I liked. I then printed it in two different sizes because I wanted to have two different sizes of hanging hearts. I cut these out and used that as templates. 

For each hanging heart you need 3-4 hearts of the same size to glue together so trace heart templates and and cut out hearts 

Fold hearts in half - if the paper only has a pattern on one side, fold in half so the pattern is folded together to the inside

Pick two same size hearts and glue them together so half of one heart is glued to half of another heart

If using three hearts then glued a string and third heart, if using four hearts glue a sting and another pair of hearts together

That's it! 

Want some extra embellishment? Add some beads to the string (pictured in first photo of this post)

Want to personalize this? Print out some photographs and cut those in to hearts too. I used some photos from vacations (pictured below)

I like the way they look hanging int he window but they add a nice touch anyone you hang them.
