Valentine’s Day Ribbon Hearts and Bows Garland

Design a ribbon hearts and bows garland banner for your home this Valentine’s Day. Using a previous Bowdabra tutorial for making woven hearts, I followed the directions and made six handmade ribbon hearts. To create the Valentine garland I strung the hearts onto yarn and added beautiful sheer Mini Bowdabra pinwheel bows. I finished each pinwheel bow with a beaded heart center.
