Want a quick and easy way to decorate for Valentines . . . one that's different and catches the eye of your love ones? How about making a hanging 3D heart within a heart!
You'll need just a few items like cardboard, glittered cardstock, glue stick, decorative beads and twine.
All you have to do is draw two half of a heart images on cardboard and cut out. Fold six or more 8 1/2"x11" sheets of cardstock in half and using the cutout cardboard heart image, draw the hearts on the plain side of the cardstock, on the folded edge and cut out. Make sure all the edges match perfectly. You can cut out as many as twelve hearts for a nice full, twirly look. Also, save the middle hearts, glue together the same way for cute little heart ornaments.
Using a glue stick, apply glue to the plain side of one closed heart and press a second closed heart together, making sure edges match.
Continue gluing hearts to one side until you have two sets of three or more hearts together. Let dry completely.
Once the twine is dry, close heart and glue second heart group to first group and let dry completely.
Hang your open heart under a chandelier or in the window. Make several and have a beautiful wonderland of glittery hearts!
