Supplies Needed:

3 Wooden hearts
paint
Distressing ink
Coordinating paper
Ribbon
Buttons
Mod podge
Hot Glue

Step 1: Paint your hearts

Step 2: Trace your hearts onto your paper and then cut them out.
Step 3: Mod Podge your paper onto your hearts

Step 4: Sand and distress the edges of your hearts with any color of ink you prefer.

Step 5: Cut out your letters. I used my cricut and used the template "jubilee" and then mod podge your letters onto your hearts

Step 6: Embellish your hearts! You can keep it as simple as you want or go crazy!




The hearts are thick enough that they can sit on their sides by themselves. Or, if you want to hang them up you can hot glue some ribbon on the back to hang them on the wall.
