In this craft we are going to make a garland of hearts to decorate a room or to decorate parties. It is very simple to make and it is very beautiful. And as you will see, different varieties can be made.
Do you want to see how to do it?
Materials that we will need to make our garland of hearts
- Cardboard of one color or of several, depending on whether you want the garland more or less colorful
- Hot silicone
- Hilo
- Scissors
- Pin
Hands on craft
- We use a circular object like a glass or else we make a circle with a compass. In any case, the ideal is that all the hearts are the same size, therefore all the circles should be the same.
- We will cut out as many circles as hearts we want in our garland.
- When we have the circles cut out, we will fold them to make the hearts. To do this first We'll fold the circles like an accordion until I have a folded strip of cardboard.
- We fold the strip in half and we score double well.
- We unfold and with the help of the pin we make a little hole in the middle double. We pass the thread through the little hole and we make a knot in the lower part so that the cardboard stops.
- We put glue on the inside of the double. We fold again and press well until it has dried. Make sure that the thread is inside the two pieces of cardboard that are glued so that it does not show.
- We will repeat the whole process with each heart making the garland of as many hearts and colors as we want.
- You can even try cutting out other shapes instead of circles to create more variety of shapes. For example, with a square we will create a fan shape to make other types of garlands or to intersperse with hearts.
And ready!
I hope you cheer up and do this craft.
