We agreed on pink, green and red as colours for the party since I had plenty of craft material in those colours. I initially just thought about cutting out hearts and stringing them up, but the internet provided so much inspiration and B and Little Miss were so eager to help that our decoration plans got a bit more extravagant. She wanted lots of hearts, big and small ones, all over the house and everywhere.
I found this great origami heart instructional video.
Since it was a child teaching the technique I got B making hearts for me and he did a great job.
We made hanging hearts by sewing the orgami hearts together with ribbon and weighted them down with a wooden bead.
Little Miss coloured in the paper and cut out strips so I could staple these hearts together to make a chain of hearts.
To make a garland I cut out red felt hearts and sewed them with green origami hearts and strung it up over the table. The origami hearts looked so good I also folded the table napkins into hearts as well.
Add some helium balloons, food, lots of lollies, birthday cake and family and you've got yourself a party.

This must have been sitting in your drafts file only to be posted recently or I may have missed it before. It all seems a hundred years ago where does the time go? Good memories.
