Green Hearts for Valentine's Day


 What to do with your 2010 calendars? Here is something. Make green Valentines! This is the same pattern that Reba posted a while back. It's two half hearts woven together. Take your calendars and place the pattern over the print in such a way that the heart will show the picture.  Finding the red colors for the holiday was easy. The backsides are red wallpaper from the book of samples that I bought for crafts. These will all go on my gray birch EX-christmas tree, still standing with only red ornaments left over from the holiday. So this is really a green valentine's idea. See the pattern below. Have fun!

Thanks, I am glad you like it. So save those calendars and other even magazine covers, better with heavier stock.
I will post the pics of the tree in a minute.
There will be tons of snow for this holiday, but that is just northern Vermont for you.

Made them for neighbors, and they loved them. We were at a b'day party last night, and one neighbor had taken her's apart, 'cause she wanted to teach her granddaughter how to make them. Such a neat idea for recycling used paper. Again, thanks for posting this.
