Garland, Garland Everywhere!

I am obsessed with garlands! Pom-pom garlands, penant garlands, washi tape garlands, handmade paper garlands. It's everywhere!
This week, I decided to make some Valentine garland. I have been experimenting with sewn paper lately and decided on some punched paper hearts garland.
NOTE:
Sewn paper garland should definitely be done on a sewing machine.
If you haven't sewn paper, check out this informative tutorial at Belle Papier.
NOTE: sewing paper ruins your needles. Always keep your paper-sewing needles separate from your fabric-sewing needles.

Here's how I made mine:

First, get some cute paper and a punch...


or use your Cricut



Second, stitch the shapes, leaving an inch or two between each shape. 

Be sure to pull the garland from behind the machine as you're sewing.





Third, find a place that NEEDS some garland.


ENJOY!
