Hello Letter 4 readers. I am so honored to be here. I remember when I was first contacted by the sisters, their blog was brand new. It has been so amazing watching their blog grow like wild fire. They are so talented and bring so much to the blogosphere!! They seriously all have the most sweetest hearts, which is a rare thing nowadays on the internet. But I’m sure you already knew that.

I’m Kristan and I blog over @ adelynSTONE. My blog is a simple blog with a goal to inspire and embrace all those little moments in life. You’ll find tutorials, easy recipes, repurposing ideas, confessions, my take on fashion and blogging tips for newbies. Really, I don’t think there ISN’T something I havn’t blogged about. hah. From stories about breastfeeding in public to our financial struggles. I put it all out there. I have two babes, Adelyn who just turned 3 and Stone who just turned 1. Hence the name adelynSTONE. They are the heart and soul of my life, so it’s only natural they show up on the blog, I try to get them involved as much as possible, Adelyn loves to help me bake and craft, so you’ll see little hands in some pictures and Stone likes to look like a stud-muffin, so of course I throw in random pictures of his gorgeous blue eyes.

Random fact: I’m obsessed with fake glasses.

Today I’m going to share with you a super simple Valentine garland.


You can do by yourself or with the help of little hands.

Note: If you already have scrap strips of cardstock, like me, go ahead and use those. If not, you might want to paint pieces of paper first, then cut into strips. I recommend using cardstock, as it’s sturdier than plain paper. 

Alright, so first you’re going to paint, using whatever colors you’d like on both sides of the strips.

We used acrylic paint because the variety of colors is crazy, but use whatever paint you prefer. Let the strips dry, by the time we were done, the first ones we painted were already dry.

The heart shape is pretty self explanatory, but incase you want to see how it was done, here you go:

After you have all your hearts, use a needle and crochet cord (or any twine) to string them like so:
