- Ribbon, twine or yarn
- Hole punch or mini clothespins- depending on how you plan to hang it
✂️ Step-by-Step Guide
1️⃣ Print & Cut
Print your gingham heart shapes from the printable set on card stock (for best durability). Carefully cut them out slightly inside the dashed lines for perfect edges.
2️⃣ Personalize the Hearts
Though the printables already have themed sayings, you can add your own flair by adding glitter to the lettering or edges.
3️⃣ Prepare the Garland Base
Cut a length of ribbon or twine where you want to hang your garland. A good rule of thumb is to leave a few extra inches on each end for hanging!
4️⃣ Attach the Hearts
Hole punch and string or use tiny clothespins to secure each gingham heart to your string. Space them evenly (about 2-3 inches apart) or cluster them for a fuller look.
5️⃣ Display Your Creation
Hang your gingham conversation hearts garland across a mantel, above a window, on a wall or even as a party backdrop!
💡 Fun Variations
✨ Double Strand Garland: Make two lengths of twine and hang them together for a fuller design.
✨ Add Embellishments: Use mini felt hearts, pom-poms, or ribbon bows between the heart pieces.
✨ Mini Garland Favors: Make smaller strands as gifts for friends or classmates!
