Woven hearts

Here we have a stack of Scandinavian-style woven hearts- some are tied with ribbon to the Christmas tree and others are strung into a garland with baker's twine.

They kept Keira and I busy after school today. We used old pages from a book, brown card and some wallpaper scraps. 

Next up (probably tomorrow after school): another stack to slip inside Christmas cards for her classmates. 

I only found this great tutorial after we'd finished making these, but might use it next time.
