Understated garlands

Has anyone else been loving all the garlands that have been popping up over the last year? Well, I'm a sheep.

Kindly ignore the reflected image of my messy apartment and focus on the garland.

Once again, I sacrificed some science journals. These were super easy to make. I printed out hearts on regular paper and then spray glued some journal pages on the back. Cut out around the heart outlines, punch a couple of holes in the top and string them all together with colored thread. I applied a dab of hot glue to the thread on the back of each heart, to keep them in place on the string, but you could also just knot the thread.

I'm liking the toned down nature of these decorations and D was thankful that I did not apply glitter to them (always a temptation for me). Plus, some of the hearts have fun stats tables on them! What says love like the annual data for red tailed deer mating?
