Quick Valentine Garland

February 7, 2009 By Spoonful of Sugar - 47 Comments

This Valentine’s garland is a quick and effective project! Simply punch out hearts in red and pink card stock, sew together and then use them to embellish a gift or drape them over an ornament or picture frame for some Valentine decor!
