Wooden Heart with Scrapbook Paper

This is a great idea for those who like to saw wood out, but do not like to paint. By decoupaging scrapbook paper onto wood you can achieve any look you like whether country or modern. There are so many wonderful looking scrapbook papers to be found in craft stores. The hardest decision is determining which one to buy.

For this project you will need:

- 4mm plywood
- your choice of scrapbook paper
- coordinating color of paint (for the side edges)
- paper napkin applique glue
- drill with 1.5 mm bit
- silver wire for hanging
- thin satin ribbon for decorating
- hot glue gun
- standard wood sawing and sanding supplies

Craft Pattern: Heart Templates

Instructions:

1. Print the template out and trace the shape onto the plywood.
2. Saw the heart out.
3. Cover the heart with paper napkin applique glue and press the wrong side of the paper onto the glue. Smoothen the paper so that there are no bubbles and let the glue dry.
4. Once the glue is dry, cut around the heart shape carefully with a craft knife or scissors.
5. Drill 2 holes in the top of the heart and insert a wire. Coil in the front to secure the wire.
6. Form a bow with the ribbon and hot glue it to the front of your heart.
7. You may of course repeat the above steps for the backside so that both sides look finished.
8. Paint the edge of the heart with a coordinating color of paint.
