Fold it into a card shape the you will need your 2nd to the largest heart framelits an you are going to out it on top of the card stock so that the end is hanging off the paper you can place a sticky note on the card stock and the framelit so it doesn't move.

Valentines Day Decorations

Hello Peeps!
Today I am going to tell you how I made these super cute Valentines Day decoration! There are super easy to do! Ok let's get started!
1. Pick out what DSP you want to make yours with! (Mine was made with some DSP off the clearance rack and I can't remember the name 😕)

2. You will need 5 different lengths but 2 of each. The 1st one is 1 x 12, then 1 x 11
Then 1 x 10, then 1 x 9, then 1 x 8.

3. So now make 2 piles start with your longest ( 1 x 12 ) and layer from longest to shortest .

4. Now you are going to make a hole at both ends do you make sure all of the ends touch and the use a hole punch 1/8 or a crop- a - dile and make sure your ends are even.

5. Ok now on one end it all is even put your brad ( you will need a brad that is pretty long) insert your brad

6. Now that your brad is in. You need to t get the other end so that you can push the ends up to the shortest piece and when you get all the way and all of your ends are even insert your other brad.

7. So now you have a super cute valentine decoration! To add your ribbon all you so is feed it through and when two ends meet tie a knot and your done! See that wasn't to hard!
