HOW TO - Make a Mizuhiki Heart Knot
Zakka Life writes:
It is said that Mizuhiki connects the hearts of the giver to the receiver. With Valentine's Day approaching I thought this would make a lovely gift/keepsake. Mizuhiki knots are also great to use for cards, wrapping gifts, embellishments, or even a valentine swap.To find out how to create your own Mizuhiki, visit the Zakka Life blog here. - Link.
