Valentine’s Day decor is not something I have a lot of. When it comes to that day, I’m usually more about coming up with sweet treats to enjoy! But every once in a while, an idea pops into my head and I just need to try it out.
This salt dough heart garland was a pretty easy craft to make. The longest part is just waiting for the hearts to dry out. I love how simple it looks and of course you can use whatever colors you like to customize the garland to your liking.
The wooden heart mold I bought worked so well with the salt dough. And I love that it makes the craft seem more intricate, but really it’s just pressing and tapping out dough. (And yes, I’m dying to try the mold out on some cookies. I think my dessert-free January might be why I tried this salt dough heart garland first instead of cookies. 🙃 My kids were excited when they first saw these on the counter because they thought I had made cookies!).
