Due to the simplicity of making this garland you can whip up a whole bunch in no time at all!
The hearts on the garland are actually heart doilies. This means that you already know they are inexpensive and already precut for you.
To make this garland place two hearts facing each other and sew down the center of the hearts without removing the thread. Lift up the foot of your sewing machine push the sewn hearts further away from you as you slide in the next set of hearts to sew down the center. Continue this process until you have the desired amount of hearts on your Garland.
I never thought of making a doily garland before, but this is really pretty! It doesn't even really look that occasion-specific, although of course it would be especially apt on Valentine's Day or at a wedding or anniversary party. I kind of want to find those doilies with the metallic surface and make a garland for permanent display in my room. Maybe you could post this on Kollabora, the crafting and DIY community, as inspiration for my fellow decor enthusiasts?
