Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday!! We hope you are all having a fantastic day so far. Keeping in the theme of Valentine’s day week, we’ve made super cute felt mailboxes and had a mini card exchange today. We are spreading positive, heart-filled vibes in the office ♥ It’s also the last day for our Betty Boop FQ bundle giveaway! :)

We’ve also got another Valentine’s day treat for you! Today we are sharing an uber-cute DIY Valentine’s day dual tutorial: Our Conversation Hearts Banner & Valentine’s Gift Tag!! We recently launched our Ad-Fab™ (learn more about it here!) and wanted to share one of the many ways you can use it. Super easy to work with, mess-free, and perfect for all your crafting needs!

We used our chalkboard fabric and Ad-Fab™ for the pretty and sweet hearts, making a fun banner for any upcoming Valentine’s Day party! Spread some love by writing all the things you like best about your friends and loved ones with chalk or chalkboard markers onto our banner, and then re-use it for your next event! Include our Valentine’s gift tags with your presents, and your guests will also have a tag they can reuse again too! Now you will be all set and ready to celebrate with our holiday inspired DIY projects ♥

Conversation Hearts Banner:

Supplies: (for an eight-flag banner)

– 2 sheets of Ad-Fab™ (12” x 12”) from Camelot Fabrics
– 1/3 yard of Chalkboard Fabric (47.5” wide) from Camelot Fabrics
– 2 yards of 1/2” – 2” wide ribbon
– Chalk or chalkboard markers
– Scissors
– Precision craft knife
– Paper printer
– Fabric marker

Notes
– When working with any adhesive product, it’s best to use non-stick scissors. Alternatively, have cotton balls and some rubbing alcohol on hand to keep your scissors’ blades nice and clean.

Directions:

1. Print out the Valentine’s Heart PDF at 100% size. Cut out the heart and trace it (4) times onto the Right Side of each sheet of Ad-Fab™.

2. Peel the fabric side of each piece of Ad-Fab™ away from its paper backing and stick it onto the Wrong Side of the Chalkboard Fabric.

3. Cut out all eight hearts. Cut small slits in the hearts as shown, slightly longer than the width of your ribbon.

4. Write love notes on the Chalkboard Fabric side of each heart and thread the hearts onto your ribbon, leaving a tail at the top to hang the banner. You could alternate the directions of the Ad-Fab™ on each heart or have them all facing the same way, as we did.

5. Hang your banner in a fun place for everyone to read!
