Yup-- I Made Garland!

And let me tell you, this was the world's most easiest garland ever. Not to mention that it was crazy, crazy, crazy cheap. Totally my kind of crafting project. So, are you ready for it??? Are you ready to learn how I did it?! Well......

First, I had Marty drive me to JoAnn's. Usually I don't drag him (or the kids) through JoAnn's, because we're all just happier if I don't, but we were already going to be driving to Lakeshore Learning for their Saturday Kids' Craft, so I totally spoke Marty's language and said that since we'd be right there, we might as well save the gas and stop in at JoAnn's now instead of me making another trip later in the week. So into JoAnn's we went........ 

A few hissy fits because I couldn't find half the stuff on my list later....Twenty minutes and four laps around the store later, I came across these wonderfully awesome packets of pre-made sticky felt hearts. For 40% off. Making them a mere $1.79 a packet. Which totally made up for throwing the hissy fits, because I knew instantly what I was going to do with these awesomely fabulous felt hearts. All I needed to find was 10 minutes to myself.

Luckily, that 10 minutes came today. So, not being one to waste any opportunity......

I grabbed some jute from my craft stash, opened the package of sticky hearts, paired up the hearts because there were 4 different styles of hearts and a total of 32 hearts in the package, peeled the backing off and stuck them together making sure the jute was sandwiched in the middle. That was it. Easy peasy kindergarten easy.

I mean, we're talking so quick and easy that I didn't even finish the mug of coffee that Marty had both brewed and poured for me when I sat down to start this little project!

But the best part of all is that after having it on my "to-do" list since January of 2011, I finally. made. garland. Yee-haw! 2012 is off to a rockin' start!
