We’re decking the halls with our good friend Rachel of @TheCraftedLife. She’s an expert at adding color to her own home—especially during the holidays.
Conversation Hearts Valentine's Day Garland
Supplies:
- White Cardstock
- White Cotton Socks
- Rit All-Purpose Liquid Dye in Coral and Fuchsia
- Small Container for Dyeing
- Paper Towels

- Adhesives
- Pipette
Time: Total 30 minutes
Difficulty: Beginner
Instructions:
- Fill bowls with hot water. Add your dye then stir.
- Add your wooden hearts one at a time, submerging fully before adding other hearts. It’s best to not crowd the bowl or add them all at the same time, otherwise you run the risk of your dye not taking evenly.
- Let hearts sit for about 5-10 minutes or until it’s your desired color. You don’t want to let them sit for too long in the water, otherwise you run the risk of them warping
- Rinse in cold water and let dry overnight on a cloth towel
- Once dry, add your stickers for your candy heart sayings.
- Hot glue ribbon on the back, display, and enjoy!
