Heartstring
by Catherine Newman
- Total Time Needed:
- 1 Hour
Transform cardboard tubes into love tokens, then display them as a mantel garland or door decoration.
- Materials
-
- Cardboard tube
- Paintbrush and red paint
- Pushpin
- Needle
- Embroidery thread
- Beads (with holes large enough for the needle to pass through)
- Instructions
-
-
Cut the tube in half and brush the halves inside and out with red paint. Let them dry.
-
Flatten the halves, then cut them into one-inch segments. Shape each segment
into a heart by pushing one creased side toward the center. Pierce holes in the top and bottom of each heart with a pushpin. -
Thread the needle and knot the end. Slide on a bead until it stops at the knotted end, then loop back and push the needle through the bead again, going from bottom to top. -
Thread on a heart, then add a bead just above it, using the same looping technique to secure it in place. Repeat to create a string of hearts and beads.
