Secret Wish Heart Craft Tutorial | Valentine's Day DIY

7 Materials
This is a great craft and gift for Valentine's Day or any occasion. This heart contains a secret message, or wish for the person you give it to. They will never know it's inside. Or, you can make it for yourself and put the name of a secret crush or a wish you hope to come true inside.
1. Put I Love You inside for your husband or boyfriend.
2. Put Best Mom in the World in and give it to your mom for Mother's Day
3. If you know someone battling an illness, give it to them with a message of Good Health or You Can Beat This! inside.
4. For a friend, put a note inside, Best Friends Forever or just BFF
You can make it as an ornament, or wear it as a pendant.
Here are the highlights, but you can find the full post and recipe for the salt clay in the original post, which is linked at the bottom!
Make salt clay and get a heart candy mold.
Press the clay into the mold, making sure it will be hollow, not full. Allow them to dry.
Once dry, you can pop them out.
Paint the insides and write a note to put into the heart. Remember, the hole point is that no one will every see the note....it's a secret!
Glue two halves together.
Once the glue is dry, paint the outsides and drill a hole, for an eye screw.
Add the eye screw.
Add a layer of resin to seal and protect it.
Once cured, all you have to do is add a cord or string and you have a beautiful secret heart, with secret meaning.
This is how it looks completed! For full directions, watch the video and/or click on the link below!


That's it!


Hope you like it and give it a try!

    You could place an engagement ring inside and not tell the person until a while later, what a wonderful surprise to find you’ve had your engagement ring all that time( okay they have to break it!)
