How to Make an Easy Valentine Craft with Ribbon
I shared the tutorial for making this easy Valentine craft on a Facebook Live which you can catch here. Or if you prefer the photo tutorial, continue reading below.
Start by placing dabs of hot glue along the edge of the wood panel.
Next, remove the twine from the wood panel. Dry brush the wood panel and dabs of hot glue with white chalky paint.
Use a heart paper template and trace it over the wood panel.
Glue the ribbon starting at the bottom and working upwards to create a heart shape.
Use another ribbon and do the same process over top of the first ribbon. Cut any excess ribbon at the top to form a heart shape.
Layer on a Sign for an Added Touch!
Take a piece of clear plastic and place the Chalk Couture stencil on top. Next, take your paste and spread it over the stencil. Remove the stencil and let dry.
Add a few spots of hot glue onto the ribbon and place your plastic piece on top.
String together wood beads onto twine then tie back onto the wood panel.
And voila! The piece is complete. What do you think about using a hot glue gun for the embellishments? Isn’t that a great way to add texture and dimension? Plus, it’s super affordable.
There are so many ways you can decorate with this sweet sign. It can be hung on the wall for a festive touch to any room. It would also look great standing on a bookshelf or buffet table. This is something that can also be used year-round to decorate a nursery or playroom.
