Wild for Wool!

I love wool…whether it’s a cheerful, plaid throw or fuzzy sweater, I’m pretty partial to those snuggly fibers!  When I found these lovely little hearts a few years ago at Target, I just had to have them!  At the time I purchased them they were part of a Valentine garland.  It was completely adorable…but after I’ve used my decorations for a while, I try to recycle them into something different!  What I love most about re-purposing my favorite things is that I can hang on to them a little longer AND create something new and fresh!  This garland had been used in my Valentine displays for several years and it was time to give new life to these sweet, wooly hearts!   So I decided to cut them apart.  How cute would they be as fuzzy tags on a gift or maybe adorning my candy jars?  I really wanted to find a new place for these colorful little guys…so they had a slight reformation for the holiday!

happy, wool hearts…

The nice thing about decorating for holidays or any celebration is that you can be whimsical, have a little fun and enjoy it–it’s only temporary after all!  One of our favorite ways to decorate at Giggle, and in each of our personal homes, is with paper!  Whether it’s a banner, tissue poms & tassels, or simple garlands, paper is a lovely and very inexpensive way to get creative for your celebrations!  Here’s an example of a simple Valentine garland made from craft paper & strung with twine–every bit as lovely as store-bought without the price tag!  And when you make it yourself, it fits your style and personality just perfectly!

string up a strand of hearts for the holiday!
