heart garland

one day last month, N and i were playing with salt dough and cookie cutters. she ended up cutting out lots of heart shapes.

 

when she was finished playing, i baked the hearts she had made, in anticipation of valentine’s day.

warming our hearts

i wasn’t sure if we’d send them out as valentine ornaments for her friends or make a mobile or garland. regardless, i knew they’d be fun to decorate with paint, so she painted away.

 

once the backgrounds were dry, N decorated them with polka dots and other designs.

then we strung them together on a red ribbon, knotting each one along the strand. they ended up making a really cute valentine garland for our house! a shorter strand would be cute on the hearth.

happy heart season!
