It's a Clean Slate! Challenge #366

 Happy New Year everyone and welcome to our first bi-weekly
challenge of 2024!

Who doesn't want to begin the new year with a clean slate?
You can reinvent yourself and be anything you want to be.

Anything Goes!

For our first challenge, you can make anything you like with any theme you want!

I chose Valentine's Day.

We recently had our small stone mantle wrapped with wood and I couldn't wait 
to hang a garland from it.

Please excuse the Christmas decorations. We're still transitioning over.
I have a quick picture tutorial showing how I made this.

My first step was to die-cut all of my shapes.

Each heart is comprised of 5 hearts, each with a different patterned paper.
I scored them right down the center.

Next, begin gluing the hearts together.

When you get the last heart, stop.

You need to insert your string and adhere it.  I used double sided tape.

Then, glue the last heart into place.

This is my centerpiece to the garland.

The little hearts twirl around as you walk by and create a breeze.

It's so cute.

On some I added smaller hearts or a little bit of bling.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!
