Valentine Banner

I love the look of this sweet Valentine banner! It was easy, inexpensive, and fun to make. I had everything on hand...a little stash of small envelopes, a heart-shaped punch, ink, and some cute valentine stickers.  I'm ready for my annual Valentine's Day Dinner!  My instructions are posted now at:   http://www.celebrations.com/content/love-letter-valentines-day-bunting-decoration

 

 I attached my little love notes to a length of black and white baker's twine...

(I love baker's twine!)
