Description

An up-cycled/re-purposed (whatever floats your boat) paperboard banner.

Instructions

  1. Small heart banner4web

    I cut six rectangles from the paperboard, but of course you could make as many as you like depending on how long you want your banner to be. Each rectangle was about 3 1/2 inches by 4 1/2 inches. Then I cut out a paper heart and used it to trace hearts on all the wrong sides of the paperboard. Using an X acto knife, I cut the hearts out.

  2. Small heart banner2web

    Flip them over and hot glue your Valentine's paper to the back side of the rectangles so that the right side of the paper shows through the heart. Hot glue your string or yarn to the backside of the rectangles as well.

    After that I decided to embellish with a few paper doilies (just hot glued them on). Then it was ready to go!
