Pretty Valentines Day Bunting ... ♥

This little project is really nothing new ...

just a different spin on an already popular idea :)

i looooooooooooove Valentines Day

all the pink-ness, heart-ness, pink-ness, and heart-ness

{did i mention i love the pink & the hearts?}

i found these shabby cupcake papers and the butterfly in the dollar bins at Michaels

{score!}

gather up some doilies, beads and cording of any sort 

i threaded all the beads on first so i could start sewing the twine into the paper 

without having to re-thread my needle a bunch of times

fold the doilies & cupcake papers in half

then take your sewing machine cover off ... and find a little deer :)

my littlest little left this here ♥

{she later asked me if i found my "surprise" ... she's so funny ♥}

ok, so put a clothespin on the end your starting with 

to keep the first bead from falling off

fold the papers over the twine and sew

placing the beads in between each doily as you go

stitch right underneath the twine, being careful not to catch it 

if you want to be able to adjust the spacing later when it's hanging

hot glue the butterfly wherever your little heart desires

tie a loop on each end and you're done ♥

happy Valentines Day crafting :)

and i have one more quick post about my kitchen org coming up soon :)
