Old Book
Twine
Scissor
Glue Gun
Hole Punch

The first thing I did was tear out some book pages.  Then started to cut out my hearts.  I made my hearts all different sized to create some interest.  For some I took two book pages together and cut a half of a heart on them.

This way I had identical sides to the heart.  I then hot glued them together in the center.

Once they were cooled down, I began to fold them into a crinkle cut heart, or like a fan.  Whichever you prefer.

I made some other heart by folding a book page in half and cutting the half of a heart in it, which when unfolded, reveals a full heart.

For the crinkle cut pattern, I folded some horizontal and some vertical to add texture.

Once they were all folded I then spread them out.  I used my hole punch and punched the hole near the top, but far enough down to prevent it tearing through the paper.

I tied my twine through the hole and left a few feet of twine to hang it from.  I staggered the length of the twine to keep all the hearts staggered.  I tied them off about a foot above the hearts.

 

 

For this set, I decided to give my old cow a pretty little piece of jewelry.  I tied the swag to another piece of twine and then tied it around her neck.  Doesn’t she look pretty?

I love how my crinkle cut Valentine heart swag coordinates nicely with some of the winter decor I still have up.  Hey, we just got almost 2 feet of snow today, so I have good reason to keep it up.

Try this craft out.  It would be great in other varieties of paper as well.  If you  have a stockpile of scrapbooking paper like I do, this would be a great project to use those for!  I hope you have enjoyed this project and if you would like to see more of my book projects, check these out:
