Easy DIY Heart Garland

Well, I finally did it! I took down the Christmas tree and all of the Christmas decorations. Ha. The task was (way!) overdue, but for the longest time I couldn't bring myself to pull out all of the boxes and take the time to pack it up. I decided I would turn on my favorite TV show and pack up as much as I could in the time that it took to get through two episodes. Hurriedly, I collected decor from all over the apartment and finished just before two episodes had finished. It was then that I came to this conclusion: I definitely didn't want to overdecorate for anything else this year because cleaning up is no fun. As a result, I decided to keep Valentine's Day decor pretty minimal.
Enter this easy heart garland. (If you know me well, you know that I loooooove garlands - I make one for every holiday!) I punched out some hearts and sewed them in a row. It's the easiest craft you could ever do and even easier to hang up! I used a little piece of masking tape to hang up the ends and tacky putty to hang up hearts in the middle to create the loops that hang down.

I also displayed on the mantle this printable, a decorative jar filled with Hershey's Kisses, a red candle, some candle holders, and a photo of my husband and I in a red frame. Easy to put up, easy to take down!
