Let's Make A Beautiful Vintage Valentines Day Heart!

Hey girl, hey! I am pretty excited about this project. Check out the video below or follow along here on the blog and see how this simple Dollar Tree heart sign became a vintage keepsake beauty!

Supplies:

Dollar Tree: Heart surface

Amazon: Sanding sponge Click here to check out my crafting essentials (This is an Amazon affiliate link and I may receive a small compensation for items purchased from this link.)

Stash: Vintage doo-dads, bingo cards, flowers, glitter

Hobby Lobby: “Hugs” sentiment, ribbon, conversation hearts, trim (from fabric section.)

Milton’s Daughter: Decoupage rice paper vintage girl, Debi’s Design Diary DIY Paint: White Swan

Walmart: Waverly Antique Wax

Here are some of the supplies! The vintage images came four to a sheet (rice paper) from Milton’s Daughter (link above), and the heart came from Dollar Tree.

Let’s make it!

I sanded down the heart, then painted it with White Swan from Debi’s Design Diary DIY Paint. (You might want to put two coats.) Then I dried it with my heat tool, but you can use a blow dryer or just set yours aside to dry.

I think this napkin came from Tuesday Morning. It was a 3-ply, so I carefully separated them down to the top layer, and I will Mod Podge it onto the heart.

I painted over the White Swan with Mod Podge so our napkin will adhere to the surface. I smoothed the napkin on, then sanded the edges with a sanding sponge, and dried the napkin / Mod Podge.

This was my inspiration for this craft! It came from a Goodwill Outlets Bin, and the second image is actually the back side. I’ll use that because the front side (first image) is more vibrant and I’m going for the vintage look.
