DIY Valentine's Day Garland - The Kingston Home

I wanna be that cool chick who decorates my mantel for every holiday – but Valentine’s Day always had me stumped. Until I came across some heart shaped cards from Michaels! I grabbed a few packs, turned on my Cricut Maker, and in less than 15 minutes I had a DIY Valentine’s Day garland that I’m proud to display! {FTC disclaimer: I received the Cricut for free but this post is mine all mine! This post contains affiliate links so I may make a few pennies if you buy something!}

I’m also thrilled to be joining 43 other makers to celebrate Valentine’s Day with some DIY projects – I’m sharing all of them at the end of this post so be prepared to be inspired!

Heart Cards and Envelopes (I got mine from Michaels)
Cricut machine – I used the Maker but this could be done with any of the Explore machines as well!
