It may be a bit of old school but a DIY rainbow paper heart garland is still a big hit these days. I guess nothing beats the classic symbol of love – heart. Paper heart garland is such a simple project to do but its impact is undeniable. Another great thing about this project is that you can create different sizes of the hearts depending on what you want to achieve. Read on how to add more hearts and love to your special day.

What you need:

  1. Scissors
  2. Stapler
  3. Colored papers
  4. Rope or string

Take one colored paper and cut it into strips about ½ or 1 inch wide. Make about 5 strips.

Step 2:Cut one strip into half and cut the other two strips a bit longer than the shortest.

Now, it is time to arrange the strips. Get the two long strips together. Place the shorter one in front and the other one at the back. Place the shortest in front and the other one at the back.
