Tissue Paper Heart Decorations.
I always love it when I find a craft project that won’t break the bank. And these 3D hearts fit the bill. If you're looking for a budget-friendly DIY project that still packs a punch then look no further.
You can easily find tissue paper in a wide variety of colours at your local craft store or dollar store for a reasonable price. From vibrant reds and pinks to softer pastel hues, you can easily find tissue paper in shades that match your personal style or the theme of your Valentine's Day celebrations.
Since you only need around 12 layers of tissue paper for each heart, it's a cost-effective way to create stunning decorations without emptying out your wallet.
Alongside tissue paper, all you need is a pair of scissors, a sewing machine and some string or ribbon to hang the hearts.
Chances are you already have these basic supplies lying around the house or know someone who does making this project even more budget-friendly.
Supplies:
Pencil
Card
And a Sewing Machine.
1. Make a symmetrical heart template by folding a piece of paper in half and drawing on half a heart. Cut it out and open it up.
You can trace this onto some card if you want a stronger template.
2. Stack up your sheets of tissue paper and trace around your heart.
I did mine in stacks of 12, any more than that and I had trouble cutting them. You can use a couple of paper clips to help the sheets together as you cut.
3. Line up your tissue paper hearts. I made some with 12 layers and 24 layers.
4. Use a sewing machine and stitch through the centre of each stack of hearts.
5. When you reach the end of your heart keep sewing and pulling the stitched thread through until it reaches the desired length.
If you want you can add another heart on the same string to make a garland or leave them as single hanging decorations.
6. Fluff out the tissue paper layers and hang.
I found folding and creasing each layer down the centre helped them hold their shape.
And that's it. Pretty easy, right? String them up and hang them on a door or wall or maybe even in front of a window for a super simple Valentine's Day decoration.
