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.
