Valentine Heart Streamers - Tutorial

Valentine Streamers made out of thin card

 


Its that time of the year again! 

Valentine's Day when hearts are everywhere as we celebrate love...!

So if you want to join in the fun of creating your own hearts, with your groups or maybe with your school class or your own children, here is a very simple way of making Valentine streamers.



You will need...

Thin card - One A4 sheet each of white and red card made 7 large and 10 smaller hearts

Stapler

How to make...


Cut your card into strips - 

Larger heart - my strips are 1.5 x 21cm (cut across the width of the A4 sheet)

Smaller heart is created by reducing the length of the strips - so 1.5 x 16cm



Staple four strips together at one end


Take the two outer strips and bend them downwards to meet at the bottom point of your first heart. 

Hold them together and add two more strips - one on either  side. 

Staple these four strips together and then bend down the two outer strips to form your second heart.

Repeat until you have made enough Valentine Hearts for your desired length of streamer. 

It's so easy and great fun to see them popping into shape!

Hope you enjoy making Valentine Heart Streamers and spreading the love!
