Why You’ll Love It

Watching your icy hearts sparkle in the winter sun is magical, especially with their frosty texture as they catch the light. It’s such a simple yet striking decoration that adds a touch of Valentine’s charm to the chilly winter weather. Kids will love helping with the mixing, pouring, and hanging, making this a wonderful family-friendly activity.

This frosty garland is also versatile. If threading the hearts seems tricky, skip the jute and scatter the frozen hearts around your yard for a playful splash of color. You can even pair the hearts with pinecones or other wintery accents for an outdoor Valentine’s vignette.

So, grab your supplies and give this project a try—it’s an effortless way to spread a little love and brighten your winter days!

How To Make It:

  1. Mix the Water: Fill a pitcher with water and add a few drops of red food coloring. Stir it up until you get a lovely red hue that will make your hearts pop against the snow.
  2. Set Up the Mold: Take your silicone heart mold and thread the jute twine through each cavity. Make sure to leave about three inches of space between each heart to create an even garland. Use masking tape to keep the twine in place—it can be a bit tricky if the masking tape doesn’t want to stick too well, but don’t worry, you’ll get it!
  3. Pour and Freeze: Carefully pour the colored water into each heart mold. Place the mold on a sturdy tray for support. If it’s freezing outside, simply leave it outdoors overnight. If not, pop the tray in your freezer.
  4. Unmold the Hearts: Once completely frozen, gently remove the hearts from the mold. The sight of these icy red hearts is so rewarding!

Loop the extra jute and secure it to the mold. I also made sure that the jute entered and exited each heart in the same location, so they would hang evenly.

I placed my toaster oven tray underneath for support and since the temperature was below freezing, I carried the mold outside to freeze overnight…and in the morning…frozen hearts!

Hang and Enjoy: String up your garland wherever you’d like—along a fence, between trees, or even draped across snowy bushes. You can also lay the hearts directly in the snow to create a little outdoor Valentine’s display.

As the sun came and went, the icy hearts changed texture, looking extra frosty in the late afternoon shadows. I so enjoyed looking at them, in the snow, from my window!

    1. Thank you, Jennifer! I didn’t know I was feature, so I will pop over and thank her! It is certainly cold enough to make the Frosty Heart Garland! Stay warm!

  3. I didn’t have the patience to fuss with the twine so I just made a bunch of these and tossed them in various spots outside – on the picnic table, etc. I made some little vignettes with pine cones and such. They were cute and it is a great easy project to do with kids. Thanks for the inspiration!
