DIY Recycled Heart backdrop

For the Valentine's Party at the Park that I shared in my previous post, I made a heart backdrop. As promised, I present the tutorial so that you can make one too! This backdrop is easy, quick, recycles cardboard, and can be used for photo backdrops, birthdays, weddings, or other events in addition to Valentine's Day. It makes a great last-minute party decoration.



You will need:
-Cardboard (if you want it to look like mine, use the white bottom halves of clothing boxes, making sure that there is nothing on them, such as labels or unwanted colors).
-Hot glue gun with hot glue gun sticks
-String (I used yarn from the thrift store)
-Scissors

Step 1. Gather up your cardboard, and begin cutting out hearts. It's okay if they're different sizes.


Step 2. Hot glue string to the back of the hearts. I spread mine out so that the strands would be longer.


That's all there is to it! 


I plan on posting some St. Patrick's Day crafts later this week, so come back soon!
