Paint Sample Garland. It's basically FREE!

This garland is super easy, adorable, customizable, and basically FREE!

You will need to know how to use a sewing needle...

You need:

A variety of paint sample papers (free at home depot and lowe's)

Needle and thread

Scissors

Heart shaped paper punch (or you can cut out the shape yourself, but it would take forever!)

 First: use the hole puncher to cut out your colors. Any shape will do, but Katie already had the heart one so I borrowed it :)

                                

Keep on punching till you get through it all!

Second: Thread your needle with the thread doubled over. You're going to need A LOT so cut it very long (over 3 feet for sure) Tie a knot at the end.

Third: Start sewing the paint paper hearts... go up from the back and down the front

 

Keep going until all the hearts are on...then tie another knot at the end!

Now, go hang it up!






****If I could do it again, I'd double up on the paint samples and stitch 2 hearts together so that there is color on both sides.
