Any ideas how I would make a heart sign similar to this one?
+11
I have someone wanting me to custom make them this sign. But I am not sure how to make the heart pictured once I trace it on the plaque. It doesn't have to be exact, but something similar. Thanks!!

Hard to see in the photo but it looks like various sized coils of natural cotton cording that were placed on a heart shaped form. You could experiment with that to get something similar for your client.

Looks like its made of rolled up paper. It could be tissue paper or simple newspaper.

I agree with Heather, it looks like mini fabric rosettes made from a rustic dropcloth/canvas type fabric. Simply twisting tight and rolling. Lots of twisting and rolling! You could probably use the burlap ribbon that is very popular right now... It comes in alot of colors and you can get it at dollar/discount stores pretty cheap.

I would try to find some straw pot holders like the picture I've attached. My thoughts are you could disassemble the circles then glue them together in a heart shape by using a template (i.e. heart shaped cake pan so it could hold the shape while the glue dries)???? Don't know if it will work - just a shot. Good luck!

take a couple of those cardboard egg cartons - trim the flat side off 'cause you only need the cup part , soak, then place between two old towels and keep stepping on them until they're flat. . . let dry - glue onto a heart shaped piece of wood or cardboard and - trim to fit heart - then spray paint - voila!

It would be totally amazing with buttons for the heart, too.

Incorporate some small tree branches that are bendable,uses small rocks - possibly paint them. Make "LOVE" out of branches and use some dried herbs to make the heart.

Make flower rosettes from fabric. Take a strip of fabric, twist it and wrap around to make the rosettes. Then hot glue them onto the board.
