Well technically it is still day 21 but I have not crafted much over the holidays so will try and catch up. A lovely little patchwork heart garland ready for valentines day decorating. A way to use up all those odd decks of cards that everyone has that is missing a few cards.
Red backed cards
Blue backed cards
Black permanent marker
Scissors
Glue
Wool
Crochet Hook
Hole Punch
Glue 2 red cards together so that the red backs are showing. Draw a heart on one side with the permanent marker, this is not an exact science and imperfections of a hand drawn heart look great. Just make sure you use the length and width of the card. Cut heart out on the outside edge of the black marker, this will leave you with a red heart with a black border. Cut a blue card in half width wise and draw a heart on each, cut out same as before. Cut a red card into quarters and draw heart and cut out. Glue a blue heart on the large red heart and a small red heart onto the blue heart. Adjust the size of the heart if required. With the hole punch, punch a hole in one top side of the large red heart. With your crochet hook and wool chain 6 join with a single crochet in the first chain, chain 45, *single crochet into hole of card, chain 20*, repeat * until all hearts are on chain. chain 51, slip stitch into 6th chain from hook, finish off.
