stringing.


so. my valentine's this year?

hand sewn. well. ok. i stitched them on the machine.

but i did cut out all of the hearts. from scraps of fabric. i hate to throw anything away. you never know what it will come in handy for.

so here are the details:

cut out hearts - the more imperfect the better.

using heavy card stock - i cut mine to be 4x6 or you could buy blank cards at michaels or another craft store - layout your design. my hearts were meant to look like they were hanging on a clothes line.

start sewing. i used a pink thread and just stitched across the middle in one line to make the clothes line. leave longish lines of thread hanging off the sides.

then stamp your cards. i used a very simple message. be mine. that i stamped off-center above the hearts. i used a stamp that i got at the office supply store and was just text. no frills here. i guess i was into simplicity this year. and then we signed the bottoms. super simple.
