Valentine's Day Hearts

I thought I'd share a Valentine's Day craft that I made a few days ago.  I saw this pinned on Pinterest via Jaime over at Jaime - Just Saying...  and just couldn't resist! 

I bought most of my supplies (that I didn't already have) at Micheal's:

  • 3 wooden hearts (about $1.50 each)
  • Roll of ribbon ($2.50) 
  • I bought one new paint (already had the other two colors)  I used Baby Pink, Valentine Pink and Apple Red. I also had some sparkly varnish that I put on over the paint (not pictured)








First step - painting each heart a different color (I think I did 3 coats of each color) then one coat of the sparkly varnish.

Next, I used my Cricut and vinyl to get letters for our names.  The awesome thing about using the vinyl is that it's sticky and you don't need to worry about glue :)


Then throw some hot glue on the ribbon and place the hearts on the glue...and... 

VOILA!  

To finish I touched up the ribbon at the top and trimmed the bottom. 



So easy...and personalized! I love it and I'm sure I'll use it for years to come :) 
If you try it out, let me know how it goes!
