DIY Valentine's Day Hearts


With Valentine's Day just around the corner we are going to show you how to make some beautiful hearts. These can be a lovely handmade gift for that someone special in your life. These are really easy and can be done in under an hour!

Air Dry Clay / Fimo
Heart Cutter
Rolling Pin
Drawing Pin
Foil
Oven

For Decoration you will need;

Lace Elements
Letter Stamps
Acrylic Paint
Paint Brush
Red Twine or Ribbon



Begin by rolling out the clay so the surface area is big enough to cut out the heart


Place the heart cutter in the middle of the clay and cut out the heart 



Place your pin at the top and wiggle around to make a hole big enough to push ribbon through


Use your found elements to create texture on your heart and use the letter stamps to spell out love, Valentine etc...




  Place on some foil and bake as per the instructions on your air-clay packet


If you want to paint your hearts we like to use acrylic paint and build up the colour, it gives a lovely water colour effect


Finish your hearts off with twine and ribbon, so it's ready to hang...


We hope you liked our tutorial, we find that these are really easy to make and can be
 a stunning handmade gift!
