Sweet little hearts garland.- A simple craft post.



We love art in our home. Creating art and displaying art.
This simple craft project is fun for all ages.

Materials needed:

-paper

-watercolor paints

-water

-scissors

-tape

-heart shape cut out (I actually used a cookie cutter to trace my heart).

- sewing needle

-thread (I used two colors).




First, start off with your paper and watercolor. 

Create your art. I used a variety of colors. I wanted soft colors. So I went with light purple, pink, and a lighter blue. 

 Remember to have fun with it.- You can make stripes, dots, and much more. 

Once you are finished, allow some time for your art to completely dry before moving on to the next step.


Next, you'll want to grab your heart shape cut out, or a heart-shaped cookie cutter. You can also use a heart stencil for this project. I had a heart-shaped cookie cutter, and figured that would do the job! 

Trace a few hearts over your watercolor art, and once you have done that, just cut each paper heart out. 
♡♡♡




 Next step, grab your thread.- I used pink and purple. But you can use any color of your choice.

Pull your thread through the needle and tie the end off in a knot.

Start off by poking the needle through the front of your first paper heart.

When poking it through the second heart, poke the needle through the backside.

Continue this pattern until you are done.

Once you make it to your final heart, cut the thread from the needle and tie off that end.

You want to make sure you have enough thread on both ends when finished.

Final step...

Find a place in your home where you would love to hang and admire your beautiful watercolor hearts. 




Enjoy!

    I'm dropping by from the Creative Princess link party. These hearts are so cute -- and look so easy to make. A winner all around.

    I've got a link party that I'm trying to grow. It's Party in Your PJs on my site Grandma Ideas http://grandmaideas.com. I invite you to share this idea (and a couple of others) at the party. It goes through Sunday night at midnight.

    I hope you can make it.

Easy Floral Decoupage Idea for Faux Pumpkin Display

 Hi everyone! I'm excited to share a simple and easy floral pumpkin design you can create quickly. Today, we will make a faux floral pumpkin display using decoupage and a few additional designs.

Quick video tutorial **Materials needed:** - Acrylic paint - Paintbrush - Floral napkin - Faux pearls - Faux flowers - Craft knife - Scissors - Mod Podge Carefully remove the top of your pumpkin. I used my craft knife to go around the top section, creating a hole at the top. Using a paintbrush, apply acrylic paint to the pumpkin. I chose to paint mine black. Next, use scissors to cut out a few flowers from your napkin. Make sure to remove the second layer of the napkin before cutting out the designs.   Once you have your floral designs cut out, use a paintbrush to apply Mod Podge to the pumpkin. While the Mod Podge is wet, add the floral napkin c...

The Crazy Little Lovebirds Link Party 156

Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #156! I'm so happy you're here! This gathering is all about sharing what brings us joy.  Bring your delicious recipes, fun family moments, cozy crafts, and home projects—basically, everything wonderful you've been working on. Happy Friday! How was your week? I hope you’re doing well.  This week, we finally went to court about the damage to our fence. Honestly, no one likes to go to court, and we would have preferred to resolve this issue privately with the individual involved. He didn't cooperate, which ultimately led us to take him to court. We hope to finally move on from this situation. I can't wait to share the lovely featured posts with you all.  **Update** Looks like Blogger has fixed the comment section. Yay! Blogger is having some issues with commenting. It shows "publishing..." when the button is clicked and stays there for some time. As always, thank you all for joining! ⭐Congratulations to our fe...

DIY Floral Wooden Jack‑O’‑Lanterns (Easy Fall Decor)

I’ve been having so much fun creating fall projects this year. These floral wooden jack‑o’‑lanterns  started as simple wooden pumpkins, but with a few pretty transfers and some soft paint colors, they turned into the sweetest little fall accents. I love how the florals give them a cozy, cottage‑style feel while still keeping that classic jack‑o’‑lantern charm. They’re quick to make, easy to customize, and such a cute way to add a warm autumn touch to your home. Watch the video tutorial Materials Wooden pumpkin cutouts Floral transfers Acrylic paint (your chosen colors) Gold acrylic paint Green acrylic paint Mini dowels Hot glue gun + glue sticks Small wooden stands Brown acrylic paint Paintbrushes   Add the floral transfers I started by placing my floral transfers onto each wooden pumpkin, just arranging them until they felt right. Once they were where I wanted them, I used a little rubbing tool to press them down and transfer the design onto the wood. Take your time with this...
