Decoupage Hearts

 

Happy January! This is not only my first post since Christmas but it’s also the first Creative Craft Hop of the year. And I am here for it! Today I’ve got a super simple craft that anyone can do. These decoupage hearts are easy, inexpensive and look great.

Please join me in thanking Sara and Donna for being our hostesses for the hops. We honestly could not do this with out them.

Also, if you are visiting from Allyson’s at Southern Sunflowers-Yay! I’m so happy that you are here.

January is a month full of birthday’s for me.

So when I decided to make these decoupage hearts I knew that they would be a perfect small addition to gifts for my friends.

Supplies

Here’s what you will need to make them.

Heart dish – or dish of your choice

Mod Podge

Gold paint OR crystal rhinestones

Decorative napkins

Sanding block

Paint brush

Step 1

Apply an even coat of Mod Podge onto the heart.

Step 2

Take the paper napkin that you have chosen and separate the back from the front.

Toss the back.

Decide on the design on the napkin that you want to use and cut it out.

Be sure to leave enough tissue to cover the bottom and the sides of the heart.

Step 3

Apply your napkin to the heart.

I like to start in the middle and gently press it down working my way out to the edges.

Let completely dry.

Step 4

Once the heart has completely dried, take a sanding block or sand paper and lightly sand the edges to remove the excess napkin.

Step 5

Apply another coat of Mod Podge to your heart dish.

Step 6

Now for the fun part!

Decorating the dish.

On my first dish I added in DecorArt Metallic gold paint to the edges for a clean, elegant look.

On the second dish I added tiny rhinestones around the lip of the heart dish.

So cute and perfect for those that love a little bling.

I love how these sweet little decoupage hearts  turned out.

And I can’t wait to gift them.

Please join me in heading over to Sara’s (Birdz of a feather) to see her DIY Charm necklace.

When you are done there be sure and check out the other crafters.

Until next time…..
