Looking for a cute decoration using supplies you already have at home? Make an easy Valentine garland using printable bookmarks along with patterned paper and fabric strips.  Embellishments for this project are leftover letter stickers and shapes cut from the fabric.

Cut paper and/or fabric into strips for Valentine Garland

 

Download the Heart Bookmarks at the bottom of this tutorial post, if you haven’t gotten them already:  Free Printable Valentine Bookmarks.

No worries, go on, I’ll wait.

Once you’ve downloaded and printed the bookmarks, cut them out along with 1.5 x 5.75″ strips of your chosen fabrics and papers.  Punch a hole near the top corners of each strip.

Gather embellishments for Valentine garland

 

Gather embellishments for your fabric and paper strips.  This a great opportunity to use leftover bits and pieces from other projects.  I cut hearts from my felt scraps, and used letter stickers from my craft stash.  Hint: Letter stickers on fabric may need an extra dot of glue to secure.

Finally, I could all those leftover X and V stickers! 

 

Use strips of fabric, printable coloring bookmarks, and patterned paper to make a Valentine Garland. Love this idea! Download the bookmarks at carlaschauer.com

Decorate garland strips

 

Once the strips are decorated, thread ribbon or twine through the top holes to create the garland.  Extra plain strips of your paper or fabric make an excellent filler to make the garland the length you need.  Leave an extra foot or so of ribbon on each end to tie the finished garland in place.
