Prepare your dark heart for some crafty fun! Tianna hand-punched thousands of hearts so that this mini-garland would be super easy for you to make, and I hand-stamped those little bags just to make them cuter! We torture ourselves with these extra steps because we love you and want to make sure even those of you who think they can't craft end up with a cute heart banner to hang in your room, your office cubicle, across your bookshelf or whatevs.

There are a few different ways to make this super easy banner- but the main goal is the sandwich your twine between 7 pairs of hearts. The only tool you will need is either glue (I used Mod-Podge because my glue stick was dried out) or a stapler - that's it!
Step 1. Decide whether you want your hearts to hang vertically or horizontally along your twine- we have pics below to help you decide.

Step 2. Take two hearts and sandwich your twine in between- leave a little space at the end of your twine for hanging! You can now staple (I had blue staples which added a little pop of colour, but silver look great too) or glue with a simple glue stick. The glue stick method works best if you put glue on the back of both hearts before you sandwich them.
Step 3. Repeat 6 more times!
Now you have seven pieces of heart, just like Emma or You-Know-Who. Looks great on a wall, window, strung across a picture frame or bookshelf! If you want to go an extra step, try glittering some or all of the hearts, adding washi tape, or decorating with chalk paint pens- we have some examples for you below.
