crepe paper hanging hearts.

I've seen so many great paper rosette, valentines, projects flying around blogland, like THIS one, that I had to make some myself. 

I'll give you some basic instructions.

first I cut out a heart shape from cardboard. 

I used regular, birthday streamer, crepe paper. 

I loosely twisted it up, 

and rolled it into a rosette.

 Then I hot glued it to my heart. I tried to scrunch them tightly together so you couldn't see any of the card board. Sometimes I had little gaps, I filled them with little pieces of crepe paper. 

 When the heart was covered, I wrapped the edges with a long strand of twisted crepe paper. 

Next I made the ruffles my folding the pink crepe paper in half and gathered/scrunched it up. 

I hot glued the ruffles around the edge on the back side. 

The last part was glueing down a ribbon for it to hang from. 

This one is kinda small, only about six inches tall. 

Perfect for adding a bit of valentines to areas we don't decorate. 

I also made a large one to hang on our front door. 

I hope you like them as much as I do.
