Zipper Bows & Paint Chip Hearts

Sooo you may be wondering why my head is chopped off in the following pictures.

There is a reason.

Anddd the reason is because my hair was sopping wet and there is NO WAY I'm putting that on the internet.

I really don't need to give my family & friends more blackmail than they already have.

Anywhoodle. 

I am still loving my colored jeans with a flaming burning passion.

I NEED ALL THE COLORS!

I don't know what it is...they just make me happy! 

How can you be sad in bright red jeans?!

Think about ittttttt.

Top: Anthropologie. Jeans: American Eagle. Jacket: Loft. Shoes: LA Fashion District. Bottle Cap Necklace: Cherry Lane Boutique in Provo, UT.

Yet I digress with my apparent obsession with colored jeans.

The real point of this post is that:

I finally made my Valentines garland and am excited to share!

Seriously. 

The easiest/fastest/cutest/cheapest thing ever.

First, gather the following: twine, paint chips, scissors, tape, and tacks.

And yes, I totally did jack 20 paint chips from the Wal-Mart paint section.

No one is missing them...at least I hope not.

Ohhh the things you gotta do when you are a college kid.

All I did was cut the paint chips out by hand into hearts. 

And don't worry if they aren't perfect, it's cuter when they are a lil' off kilter!

{Look at photo above}

Then I lined them up next to the twine and started wrapping the twine around the paint chip hearts.

Then put a couple pieces of scotch tape on the back.

Advice: Tape down the twine {on the back} towards the top of the heart so they don't flop over when you hang them.

All my hearts twined up!

Tacked them on the wall in a chic swooping fashion and VOILA.

Uber cuteness, for how much you ask?

Twine: Free cause I already had it, but I originally bought it for $3.

Tacks: Free, cause I already had it.

Tape: Free, already had it!

Paint Chips: Free! Oh gosh, I feel like a horrible person for stealing paint chips.

Grand Total: FREE.

I keep looking at my wall and feeling so dorkily proud of myself.
