XOXO
There are so many things we can do for Valentines Day to get in the spirit! This year, I have included a directions for a super cute garland to decorate your space for the special day!
XO Garland
This is a simple project that requires very little prep.
You will need:
1.) paper
2.) scissors
3.) liquid glue/modge podge
4.) paint brush
5.) glitter
6.) string
Instructions:
1.) Draw a couple block letter X’s and O’s as a template for people to trace around. If you don’t feel confident in your own drawing skills, you can always print block letters offline and trace using a window or cut out as your templates!
2.) Trace your desired amount of X’s and O’s onto paper to ensure they are the same size.
3.) Cut your X’s and O’s out.
4.) Cover each X and O with modge podge or glue using a paint brush
5.) Sprinkle glitter over the glue
6.) Allow time to dry
7.) Arrange X’s and O’s in succession on how you’d like them to appear when hung
8.) Flip each over so the back is facing you.
9.) Measure how much string you will need for your garland.
10.) Cut string to desired length.
11.) Glue string to backs of each X and O making sure it is attached to the tops of each line of the X and top of O
12.) Allow to dry and hang in desired place!
If you’d like you can also use felt to make hearts or something similar to break up the garland. Have fun! And it is recommended to do the glitter over paper for easy clean up… or you will be sparkling the rest of the day. Which in our opinion isn’t a bad thing!
