Valentine Chair sash

This is a super easy and inexpensive Valentine decoration! 



Supplies:

  • scissors
  • red felt cut into strips
  • string (I used red and white baker's twine but yarn would work too!)



First cut out all the hearts- all basically the same size. You don't have to be exact. I just folded the felt strip in half and cut out 30 hearts (plan on about 5 for each chair, but it will depend on the size of hearts). 

Once you have all the hearts cut out, cut tiny little slits on the out edge (about 1/2 inch in) of each heart hump. These slits will be where your ties go. 

Once that is done, you will need 3 inches pieces of string for the connecting ties and 12 inch for the ends. The ends are longer so you can tie a bow when tying them to the chair. 

Now sit down and turn on your favorite tv show. Tying all the pieces together seems to go so much faster while watching an episode of your favorite series! 


And when your done- VOILA! A chair sash! You could also make these longer to make a banner for a doorway or window. And you could also string them vertically and hang from the ceiling for a different look. All the same process. I liked them on the chairs because they are usually neglected with holiday decorations and it was a nice change up from the normal table decor of runners and centerpieces.
