Simple Heart Garland...
I have been obsessed with garlands lately! I love the way they can spruce up a wall or a room. And their simplicity gets me at my simple girls core!
So I needed a small, yet pretty garland for my entryway. I found these adorable crocheted hearts and flowers on Etsy...but you could easily make them, I'm sure. {I'm just trying to focus on the knitting for now...must. focus.}
All I did was lay out my hearts and flowers in the order that I wanted them on the garland. Then I fastened a small safety pin to one end of a 1/4 in. thick ribbon and wove it through each of the crocheted pieces. They slide easily so you can move them around a bit once they're all on there. I tied a knot at each end, leaving a small hoop to fit over a nail. And viola! Easy. Peasy.
Happy February everyone!
p.s...I am doing something very scary {but very exciting} tonight...well, scary and exciting for me but by other standards may not be...ANYWAY, I'll share with you tomorrow!!! *hint* It's something that used to be my whole life but I haven't done in 11 years. Wish me luck!
{edit} A couple of you have asked, and I should have mentioned before...I got my hearts and flowers here.

Okay, you're right. I guess this garland would be easy if I purchased them from etsy. I love it and it's a beautiful addition to your entryway.
This is soooo cute! I have been making owl garlands and people seem to be intot he garland thing right now.
I want to learn how to make this one though.

Second, I love the garland! It is so feminine and sweet. I adore things like that... and Lydia, is convinced it is called "GAH-LAWN" she sounds like some old hollywood starlet when she says it! I'll make sure to show her these :)

Good luck with whatever you may be doing! I love your garland, I'm always making little things to hang around my house. I don't know how I'd do with a crochet needle, but I'm sure I can do something similar with paper!
Really adorable! Now I must find crocheted hearts and flowers.
