What’s Black, White, Pink, and Red All Over?

One of my favorite things about Stash is the front window. A large plate glass window is the perfect opportunity to create something visually stunning that draws people to the shop and inside its doors. For our Valentine window I had something else in mind entirely. When things just didn’t fall into place with plan A, along came plan B. And you know what? I think I like it better that my original idea!

The heart garland is so simple to make, and the options for hanging are endless.  Want to make some? Here’s what I did:

♥Paper Heart Garland DIY♥

• fold a pretty piece of scrapbook paper in half, then cut into strips about 1 inch wide.
• using the fold as the point of your heart, fold the two ends together to form the curves of the heart.
• insert the folded bottom of the next heart into this curve and staple together.
• repeat until garland is desired length.  I did groups of 2, 3, and 5.
• Next, I simply attached various lengths of yarn to a spray-painted embroidery hoop to create this one of a kind paper heart mobile.
