This is the last of my trio of Target Dollar Spot upcycles. I’m sharing a charming heart garland that I made into a vintage love letter themed garland.

I obviously have a love for vintage items. I mean look at those beautiful glass doors I was able to salvage from a 100-year-old San Francisco home!  I was excited to vintage-up this darling garland I found at Target.

This is what I started with. Each heart has clothes pin on the back.

Supply list:

• Wooden heart garland from Target Dollar Spot
• Sanding block
• Envelopes (try the Dollar Spot or these)
• Tea bags
• Red and pink markers
• Printed vintage stamps
• Mod Podge
• Paint brush

The first step was to sand down the hearts a bit to give them a more aged look.

Another Dollar Spot find!  This pack of cards and envelopes was only $1!  I used soaked tea bags to “age” the envelopes.

I rubbed the tea bags on the envelopes until they were soaked through and then let them dry overnight.

Using felt tip markers, I marked around the envelope edge to give the vintage Air Mail look.

After the edges were complete, I “addressed” my notes with sweet pet names.

I Google image searched for red or pink vintage stamps and printed off the ones I liked. After cutting them out, I Mod Podged them onto my envelopes.

I adore how this turned out!

Look how precious this looks paired with my old mailbox collection!  You’ve got mail!!
