DIY Galentine’s Day Gift Idea
I shared the tutorial for making this Galentine’s day gift idea on a Facebook Live which you can catch here.
Paint the hollowed out wooden hearts in white, both sides. Put them aside to dry.
Using a marker, draw squiggly lines over the coffee filter.
Spray with water and scrunch up the coffee filter. The inks from the marker will bleed resembling water color.
Press with an iron to speed up the drying time.
Place the wooden heart on top of the colored coffee filter and trace the outside of the heart. Cut out the heart with scissors.
Layer the coffee filter heart between the two wooden hearts and glue them together. Attach the wooden dowel to the bottom to create a decorative pick.
And next, add a little ribbon if you like.
Weed out the vinyl cut out and then transfer the design on to the side of the galvanized bucket with transfer tape.
Complete your gift with your choice of a free printable floral greeting card or these summer flower greeting cards. And why not add some faux flowers with this upcycled silver tray or add these cute Valentine’s day gnomes.
