Simple Doily Valentine Garland (Video!)

Hey guys! Let’s make a garland! Let’s make a…

Simple Heart Doily Valentine Garland!

This here is Valentine garland made of big heart doilies and twine! When did simplicity become so charming???

All you need are some doilies (I got my pack of 12 for $1.88 plus tax). I already had the twine at home…

OK. SO here’s how you do it!!!

It’s just like sewing except not crazy-making sewing. Just weave the twine into your chosen doily holes and before you know it you have the most charming doily valentine garland!

It’s easier than cracking an egg!

Ish. If you crack eggs like I do, it’s easier than cracking an egg…

I like it hanging along my window in the kitchen. I love how the Pacific NorthWET cloudshine lights it up.

I suppose you could use fishing wire instead of twine… then it would be invisible and the hearts would look like they were floating…. OOOH GHOST HEART DOILIES!

Okie dokie. It’s your turn, friends! Add a little visual love to your windows or walls… with ease and inexpensivity.

I just made up a word.

AND A DOILY VALENTINE GARLAND!

I am so creative!

It’s because I am not terribly plannery. And also video takes a special kind-of effort.

As does taking things on…
