Wrap the garland around the ring... hot gluing it down till the ring is completely covered. Next break the sticks off the hearts and hot glue them on the ring. I did lay mine out first before hot gluing to see what they would look like. Then I attached a ribbon to be able to hang it.

Heart Garland

Need:

- Colored sheets of card stock

- Glue stick

- Pencil or pen

- Glue dots or double sticky tape

- Fishing line and needle (optional)

Cut strips of paper. You can even glue two strips together to make it a bigger heart. Fold strips in half. Taking one end of the strip, take a pencil and roll the paper inwards till you are about 1 inch from the fold. Gently pull out the pencil. Repeat other side. Now you can glue the middles together with dots or double sticky tape.

You can glue them together to make a garland or take a need and fishing line and start from bottom of heart and push needle through bottom, then in between heart to top. Add as many hearts as you like. The double sticky tape or glue dots will hold the hearts in place. Then you can hang the garland from the mantle or the dangling garland from your chandelier.
