One wooden heart
Gift tissue paper
Faux floral
Items needed
Hot glue/Adhesive
Scissors
Mod Podge
Paintbrush
Optional-Parchment paper
Items I already had on hand
Gold letters (this is optional)
Mini iron (this is used for applying the gift tissue paper and Mod Podge)
Applying Tissue Paper and Mod Podge
Begin by cutting a section of tissue paper that you will add to the wooden heart. You can choose to add the paper to only half of the heart or cover the entire surface.
Next, apply Mod Podge to the section of the heart where you will add the tissue paper. Place the tissue paper over the Mod Podge and cover it with a sheet of parchment paper. Use a mini iron to iron over the paper, which will help reduce the appearance of creases and lines.
Using a Sanding Block
To achieve a blended look, you can use a sanding block on the wooden heart.
Applying Acrylic Paint
Apply acrylic paint to the unpainted section of the heart. You can use one or more colors and blend them.
Adding the Letters
If you want, you can add letters to the heart. For example, you could add "love" just above the design.
Adding the Faux Floral
Finally, use floral cutters to cut your flowers and add them to the wooden heart using adhesive. You can add them around one side of the heart or around the entire heart.
You have finished decorating the wooden heart. This craft is perfect for those looking for budget-friendly home decor, and it serves as an excellent addition to any Valentine's Day decoration.
