Materials – White Pom Poms, Sheet of Red Felt and Bakers Twine
I haven’t been bitten by the pom pom making bug yet like G (although after getting my totally awesome wreath I’m thinking of buying that cool tool!). So mine came from a package from the local craft store. I have varying sizes here for interest – and to disguise any imperfections in my heart cutting!
All I did was cut some hearts free-hand (although using the folded technique to get them symmetrical) from the sheet of red felt. I purposely cut some larger and some smaller. Then with some red and white bakers twine (LOVE that stuff!) and a thick needle, I strung the felt hearts and white poms alternately. I like that some of the hearts are upside down and the sizes of the hearts and poms vary. It’s a fun little garland to add a little Valentine’s touch to our mantel. (Mantle? Weird, did you know it could be spelled both ways???)

Love the idea of baker's twine, and I am so laughing right now at mantel/mantle. I consider myself to be a pretty decent speller, and that word ALWAYS throws me, so I'm loving that it gets someone else too. :-) Thanks for linking it up.
