Paper Accordion Hearts
"These little paper accordion hearts are so simple to make but so cute, and a nifty way to use some of those wine corks I’ve been saving! They also add a sweet touch to your Valentine’s table. Made from just craft paper, a wooden skewer, and a wine cork, they take very little time; and they are perfect for beginner craftsmen. They make a wonderful addition to a sweetheart table setting or even a bridal shower or party."
