Holy Moly!!!  Where did the week go!!  I mean weekend??  I had a couple of posts planned for this weekend, and umm, they will have to wait until next weekend I guess, sorry about that friends!!

I have a couple more Valentines tutorials for ya, so you can be all decked out ad ready for the day of LOVE!!

Today I’m gonna show ya how to make framed heart art:)

Supplies:

• an old frame

• red spray paint

• scrapbook paper

• vinyl or cardstock

• yarn

• hot glue

First, you’re going to paint your frame.

Next, cut a scrap of paper to go in the frame.

I glued this right to the cardboard piece in the back of my frame.

For this next step you can either use vinyl or cardstock, I chose vinyl b/c I think its easier to work with using the Silhouette.

Find a heart template, or create your own.  I knew I was going to make 3 rows of 3 hearts, so I found a template with three hearts in a row.

Cut out the heart design.

Attach some transfer paper to the vinyl and place it right on the paper.

Repeat until you have the desired amount of rows and hearts.  For the last heart, I used the same template and cut some red patterned paper out of cardstock.

Lastly, use a pencil to trace a word, (I used love) and follow the lines with a hot glue gun.  Immediately add the yarn to the hot glue, and trim after each letter.

And you’re done!!

I found the best invention ever at Hobby Lobby last weekend and had to try it out with this project.  It’s a pom pom maker!!  You basically wind the yarn around, tie it off, snip it, and you’re done.  I filled up an apothecary jar with these little yarn pom poms to coordinate with the  yarn from the frame.

I can’t wait to make a garland with the stuff too!!!

Have fun yarning it up:)

Linking up HERE this week!
