I love, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this simple paper garland!
One of my greatest delights is being challenged to craft something for the least amount of money while using resources I have on hand. I suppose that is what true crafting is all about. It is the fun of creating something and seeing what happens. And this paper garland: FREE. Yes.
And believe it or not...
This garland is made from paper off a couple doodle pads I have lying around to jot down groceries and phones numbers, card stock, scrap scrapbook paper, a circle paper punch and glittery string.

I wanted the garland to match these adorable plates and napkins I picked up at Target.
I love that these are not conventional colors for Valentines Day since Cati's class of ten students has EIGHT BOYS and only two girls (one of which is my Cati). So I avoided the abundance of red and pink. Although y'all know me...the pinker...the better.
Each dimensional circle is just 3 punched circles
(2 folded and glued on each side of one flat card stock circle).

It took me about 30 minutes to make. You can't beat that!
I love the color combination.
It pops with festive color while being delicate and sweet!

I hung it in my kitchen and just smiled every time I looked at it.
Until I lost 7 years off my life walking through the kitchen and it fell down as I passed through.
Cheap scotch tape. :(
I hope to show you the pics after the fun party.
I have another project in the works but I have no idea if I will finish it in time.
Love and Hugs
XOXOXO!
