Happy Valentine's Day! To celebrate this day of love, I created a new piece of decor. This was a fun project making use of an old frame, some scrapbook papers and assorted embellishments.
I stared with an variety of papers, ribbons and my Helmar Tacky Craft Glue.
I painted the frame red and began working on my heart flowers. I cut a strip of green paper and rolled it around a straw. After applying the Tacky Craft Glue, I applied a bit of pressure until the paper held. I added a bead of glue around the heart and then glued two back to back over a flattened straw. I made a total of 5 flowers. I cut leaves and applied those to the front of each flower.
Once I had all of my flowers made, I ran a bead of glue along the inside bottom edge of the frame. I positioned each flower on that ledge and propped it up to dry.
Once the flowers were securely adhered, I began to decorate and add embellishments. I did end up grabbing my Helmar 450 to create the cluster.
Here is the completed piece...
I love the way it came together and had fun pulling out different trims and buttons from my stash.
Thank you for joining me and I want to wish you a very Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you are inspired to get out your supplies and create something similar!
