Assembly
Cut an extra piece of yarn the length you would like your final bunting. Thread a yarn needle onto one end. String the hearts onto the yarn, working in the same direction for each, by inserting the needle under 2-4 different points on the backside of each heart. (Optional: tie a slip knot to each end for easy hanging)
