While on one of my Dollar Trips I found the oh so popular foam heart form and i knew exactly what I wanted to create. I created a one of a kind Valentines Heartsicle, it can be made in many designs and colors take a look at the process and most of the items came from Dollar Tree.
Meterials:
1.) Foam Heart – Dollar Tree
2.)Wooden dowel, these are the medium size (Walmart)
3.) Pink/Red Chalk Paint, White Acrylic paint
4.) Dollar Tree rhinestones, Rhinestone Trim
5.) Dollar Tree Valentines Ribbon
Before you begin painting remember that you. Can use any colors that you want.
Start by drawing a smaller heart on the center part of the heart.
I chose to paint the outer heart shape a red color, I used two coats.
The smaller heart in the center I painted pink, it also took two coats.
Using the same Pink color I painted the back side as well.
Let the heart dry and start by painting your wooden dowel with the white acrylic paint.
Make a hole at the bottom part of the heart and apply some hot glue on the inside hole and insert the dowel to secure it.
It’s time to decorate, I glued a heart shape red rhinestone in the center.
Using the round pink beads I glued the around the outer part of the heart form, allowing half an inch in between.
This will take you quite a while but the result is amazing.
Once you have completed gluing the pink beads then start by randomly gluing the smaller beads all around the heart.
To finish it off I added individual rhinestones on the inside shape of the heart for more sparkle.
Lastly I made a small bow and attached it with some hot glue, for more. Sparkle I added smaller rhinestones on the center part of the bow.
A lovely one of a kind heartsicle and will be the perfect item for your home decor or a great handmade gift.
