modge podge + stickles = love

DIY Day @ ASPTL


i needed favors for a little valentine's coffee.

so - i bought 3 bags of wooden hearts from hobby lobby.

used misc. scrapbook paper & ribbon bits & embellishments found hither & yon

cut out 2 3/4” hearts with my cricut

they were a little off but that’s ok

i.had.a.plan.

but – i totally forgot to take pictures of the process :(

so you’ll just have to imagine it all in your minds.

modge podged the paper hearts onto the wooden hearts

using my pampered chef little pie roller as a brayer.

oh, i forgot this part. first, i painted all the wooden hearts a few

different colors: silver, gold, cream, white & red. then i waited for them

to dry. then, i modge podged the paper hearts onto the wooden hearts

using my pampered chef little pie roller (you know – the one that has a 4” roller on

one end & a 2” roller on the other end) as a brayer.

then – the fun began! i hot glued & modge podged & stickled (you do know all about stickle, right?) to my heart’s content.

i did take photos of the final results after i hung them on a little wire tree:

Oh that is so sweet. I love all your designs...what a fun way to use an ornament tree. Gotta get cracking to make some St. Patty's day ones now.

Randee,

I did a VERY similar project using those little wooden hearts from Hobby Lobby and scrapbook paper to make favors for our Valentine's Tea. I stamped inspirational verses and scripture on them so they resembled conversation hearts and embellished with flowers and charms.
