Today, I will show you how to make a very simple banner for Valentine's Day, or even a little girls room. It is probably the easiest craft I've ever made, and everything I used is from the dollar section at Target, so definitely try it out.
You will need a roll of clear tape, scissors, white yarn/string (from the dollar section at Target) and foam hearts (from the dollar section at Target). If you can't find any, check the Dollar Tree, and your local craft store, or just buy craft foam and cut your own hearts out. To make your own sparkly hearts, cut it out on craft foam, then coat it in mod podge, then sprinkle sparkles on. Let dry, then shake the excess off. If needed, paint another layer of mod podge over the glittered heart to keep it from falling off.
Now is the easiest part. Lay out the string to about the length you want the banner to be (don't cut yet). Now lay the hearts over the string and decide how far apart you want them. Cut the string a little longer than you need it, because when it dips down it the middle, it looks cuter. Now lift each heart upside down (switch it from front to back) and slide it under the string and tape the string to the back of the heart. Make sure it's straight so it doesn't hang lopsided. Do that for all of the hearts. If you have other shapes, like XO's, make sure that when you flip it around, it reads the right way.
That is all to this easy decoration! Seriously you all need to do this because it's so easy, even a beginner homemaker can make it.
