I’ve been busy decorating our mantel for Valentine’s Day and had a lot of fun with this quick and easy Paper Heart Chain Garland. It’s a super simple way to spruce things up for the holidays that costs almost nothing! With using any paper you have around the house and a few staples, you have a low cost craft that makes a big impact!

Cut your paper into even strips and fold them all in half. I used pink paper, but feel free to use any colour your heart desires! The longer your paper strip the bigger your heart will be.  

To start, take two and staple them together at the fold as shown in the photo above.

Take the outside pieces and fold down to form a heart shape, grab another folded strip of paper and staple together at the fold. Use the photo above as a visual guide.

And repeat, continue to fold the paper down, and secure a new strip on until you have the chain as long as you need.
