Valentine Garland from Castoffs $0
Fabric for hearts: Huge basket of clothes for D.I. donated from a sister-in-law
(I rifled through it, picked my palette, and cut out as many hearts as I could.)
Fishing line: Thanks to the husband we have roughly 3,000 miles of it
Crimp beads: Bought a jar of 1,000 a year ago- they last forever
Crystals to innersperse on fishing line: Leftover from my sister-in-law's wedding decorations
Poly stuffing: Have an endless bag down in the crawl space
I placed two hearts right sides facing out, sewed them together stopping my machine with an inch to go, stuffed the 1" opening right then and there, finished sewing. Threaded strands of hearts and crystals with fishing line. Spaced everything evenly with crimp beads. Ended up making 8 garlands with the clothing shown.
