Materials:
- Old book pages or printed fake book pages
- Scissors
- Stapler or glue
- Hole punch
- String of your choice
Steps:
1. Find or Print Your Pages: Start by sourcing book pages from an old book or, for a customized touch, print fake book pages. A quick online search for "fake book pages" will reveal free printables. Remember to print on both sides for authenticity.
2. Cut Circles: Grab those scissors and cut circles out of each page. The size of your circle will determine the size of your hearts, so feel free to experiment with different sizes.
3. Accordion Fold: Take each circle and accordion fold it. This step creates the foundation for your hearts, so be precise with your folds.
4. Fold in Half: Now, fold your accordion-folded circle in half. This begins to shape your heart.
5. Secure the Middle: Use a stapler or glue to secure the middle folds together. This forms the heart shape – the symbol of love!
6. Hole Punch: Carefully hole punch each heart at each peak. Make two holes for each heart to allow for easy threading.
7. Thread the Garland: Choose your favorite string, whether it's rustic twine or vibrant ribbon. Thread it through the punched holes of each heart, creating a beautiful garland.
Voila! You've just crafted your very own Folded Paper Heart Garland.
