Crafty Lil Hearts

.....Featuring Uncommon Designs Online!

Hi Artsy Girl Connection Readers! We are Bonnie and Trish from
Uncommon and we are SO thrilled to be here today as
part of the "Crafty Lil' Hearts" series.

Today we are going to share our Chevron Heart Plaque tutorial with you!

Chevron Heart Plaque Tutorial

Supplies Needed:

heart shaped wooden sign

fabric

spray adhesive

exacto knife

cutting mat

ribbon

modge podge (opt)

Before applying the fabric, I cut the ribbon handle off of my plaque and coated the
plain side with spray adhesive. Then, I laid my fabric (this one is a cool chevron
kitchen towel from Target) on top and made sure the pattern was going
in the right direction. You will want to smooth from the middle of
the heart out to the sides until the heart is completely
adhered to the fabric. Let dry 15-20 minutes.

Carefully, turn your heart over and place on a cutting mat. Now, trace the edge
of the heart with an exacto knife. Be sure to use enough
pressure to completely cut through the fabric.

At this point you can add your ribbon for hanging or you can choose to seal
your heart with modge podge. Since this was going to hang on my front
door, I decided to use one coat of modge podge for protection
from the elements. Let this dry completely.
