Now, tie your velvet-covered hearts onto your wood bead garland and hang it on your mantle, bookshelf, windowpane, open shelf, or… your window bench! Go figure! Chain 45, in top of heart sc, chain 6, sc in top of the other side of the heart, chain 12, sc in top of heart, chain 6, sc in top of other side of the heart, chain 12. Repeat until all hearts are joined, chain 45 fasten off. I used twine for the base of my garland. Make sure to measure where you are going to use it and add about 8-12″ to each end. That way you’ll have a tassel that hangs of each side. Okay, now that you’ve learned how to make a Valentine garland with velvet covered hearts, are velvet hearts in your future? What colors are you thinking of using? How/where would you use them? There are SO many possibilities! For this project, I cut all my fabrics and ribbon first, so they were ready to go. I cut them in various lengths, too. You don’t want everything to be the same length. Cut the strips about 1/2 – 3/4 inches wide. Anything wider than that will be hard to wrap around knot and tie onto the twine.

Cut a long piece of yarn for hanging the hearts. For a little extra detail, cut an extra length of string and twist the two pieces together.
