DIY Heart Garland

A heart garland is a delightful decorative item and a simple way to add a touch of charm and romance to any space. Whether for a wedding, baby showers, Valentine’s Day decorations, or to add a warm and cozy ambiance to your home, a heart garland is a creative and versatile way to express your love and affection.

This DIY heart garland made with yarn is a simple idea that can be crafted in minutes, perfect for adding a sweet touch to your home.

With just a few supplies from the craft store, you can create a simple heart garland featuring a larger heart as the focal point—ideal for any Valentine’s Day celebration!

Let’s get started!

DIY Heart Garland Yarn

What I have pictured above will make a total of ten hearts. I chose pink, but you can select different colors of yarn that work best for you.

I would recommend three balls of yarn instead of the pictured two.

This way, you’ll have enough yarn left over to hang the DIY heart garland or use a piece of twine.

I purchased the yarn and styrofoam at Walmart for about $7.00 each.

Step-by-Step DIY Heart Garland

Step 1:

Using the cookie cutter, the first step is to press down on the styrofoam to create your hearts.

The size of your cookie cutter will determine the size of the hearts for your Valentine garland.

Make as many yarn hearts as you like and have styrofoam available.

Step 3:

Tape the yarn to the styrofoam heart with a piece of tape, helping to secure it.

Step 4:

Wrap the yarn in all different directions around the styrofoam heart until it is complete.

You may wrap it in any direction you like.

When your entire heart is completely covered, cut the stands of yarn and tuck them inside the wrapped yarn on your heart.

Isn’t this just the cutest and easiest DIY heart garland?

Find a suitable spot to display your heart garland.

It can be hung on a wall, draped across a mantel or staircase, or used as a table centerpiece.

Enjoy the lovely and romantic ambiance created by your new handmade heart garland!

Step 5:

To hang the hearts, thread a needle and pass it through the top of the heart to create the garland.

Such an easy project, am I right?

I have had these DIY pink hearts for over four years, from when I first created this post and started my blog. And I have decorated with these hearts every Valentine’s Day since.

Remember, you can customize your heart garland to suit your style and preferences in many different ways.

You can experiment with different shapes, sizes, and colors to create a unique and eye-catching decoration.

Let your creativity soar as you infuse your space with love and warmth through the beauty of a heart garland.
