Wood Crafts - Christmas Crafts - Paper Napkin Applique - Wooden Angel Heart Decoration

This cute angel can decorate your own home or be created for a special friend or loved one. This project combines wood sawing, paper napkin applique and working with modelling clay. It is quick and easy to craft but you will need to let the clay dry overnight.

 

 

 

Supplies needed:

-
6mm thick plywood for the heart
- 2 paper napkins with similar to the
  example napkin
  below or other motif of choice
- air drying / hardening modelling clay
- rolling pin
- paper napkin applique or decoupage glue
- kitchen knife
- paint brush and paint matching motif
- paint brush for glue
- wood glue
- drill with bit for drilling holes
- twine for hanging

Example of paper napkin used for this project
The paper napkin used for this project has four completely different motifs and inspires one to create four of these hearts right away. That way you will have a couple of last minutes gifts on the side if you need them.
