Did you ever make paper hearts to give at Valentine’s Day when you were a child? This project features lace doily hearts and Paper Whimsy images. The heart has a hanger so it may be displayed on the door, mantle, a knob on a dresser or cabinet and many other special places. It can be used as a decoration for years to come celebrating the romance of this time of year.
(1) Trace heart on to pattern paper and cut out. Glue heart to another piece of pattern paper and cut out again. You can use pinking shears or another decorative scissor to give an edge. If you wish for a third layer – repeat the process.
(2) Add Silver Stickles along the edge of heart and butterfly wings and set aside to dry. Add lace heart doily to center of heart. I added a piece of old sheet music behind my doily and trimmed with decorative scissors.
(3) Adhere image to center of heart. Add word text banner below image. Add butterflies, flowers, buttons and other embellishments on heart.
(4) Punch two holes in top of heart and set eyelets. Run ribbon through for hanger.
