Mini Book Page Garland
I made the cutest mini garland today on a whim.
I had no plans to do this, I had my new watercolor paints out and it just kind of happened.
This garland is so tiny and is great to hang on small places like a small wreath.
You may even have everything you need at home right now!
Take a look...
First, grab an old book or music paper scrap book paper.
As you're reading through this post please pay attention to the bold blue links that will take you to more information and the products I used for this project. Also the READ MORE sections will take you to related Homeroad projects.
I cut the paper into rectangles that were about 3/4" x 1 1/2" and folded them in half.
I used a glue stick to glue folded rectangles around a length of jute. My jute is about a foot and a half long.
To round the edges of each flag you can use a scissor or this little edge hole punch which makes every paper project so much cuter!
Once I had a string of tiny book page flags, I used a bright red watercolor to paint a tiny heart on both sides of each flag. Be sure to paint one side of the flags and let them dry before flipping over the garland and painting the other side.
The watercolor set I got for Christmas has so many beautiful colors, tools, and even a few metallic watercolors!
When all the hearts were dry I took a fine line marking pen to draw hearts around the painted hearts. I went around each red heart 2-3 times.
I also added a few lines and dots through the heart lines I drew.
Just do whatever makes you happy, even rainbow colored hearts.
The last thing I did was to wrap it around a small wreath that hangs on a door.
It would also look beautiful wrapped around a basket, a plant, or even a small Valentine's Day gift!
