Servings: 1 sign
Cost: $3
Equipment
- Paintbrush
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun and glue stick
Ingredients
- 1 Heart-shaped “Heart Grapevine” form*
- 14 craft sticks
- 1 bunch of small plastic roses*
- Twine*
- White acrylic paint used Apple Barrel - Snow White
- Brown acrylic paint used Apple Barrel - Brown Oxide
Instructions
- Line up 11 craft sticks horizontally. Glue the remaining 3 sticks vertically, keeping them the same width apart. This will hold the other sticks together. This is the base for your floral heart decorative items.
- Turn the base over and paint it white.
- While the base is still wet, you are going to distress it a bit by dipping your brush into the brown paint. Lightly coat the base with brown paint. Allow to dry for 5 minutes.
- Wipe off your brush and dip it into the brown paint again. Use the brown paint to darken the base up a bit, paying attention to coat the edges.
- Wipe off brush again and go back in with white in the center. Set the base aside and dry for about an hour.
- Glue the heart to the base. Press gently until the glue has dried, about 30 seconds or so.
- Pull the roses from the stems and randomly glue them on the inside and outside rim of the heart.
- Cut off the small tips of the leaf stems, as well as individual larger leaves.
- Glue them randomly around the roses and the heart.
- Cut a piece of twine to about 6/7” or to the size you would like. Turn over and add a little glue to one top corner and carefully glue one end of the twine. (Use another craft stick to press down so you don’t get burned!) Add more glue over it to secure it. Once that has hardened, do the same to the other side.
- Once completely dry and hardened, you can hang up and enjoy!
