I love to recycle things, especially packaging so for Valentine's this year I decided to make some hanging hearts using old packaging cardboard.
You will need Helmar Premium Craft Glue, cardboard, lace to cover the heart and to hang it and any embellishments that you would like to use.
To start with you will need some packaging cardboard cut into your desired heart shape, two per heart.
Using Helmar Premium Craft Glue, glue the lace to one side of each heart shape and then trim the lace.
Start playing around with your embellishments and decorate your hearts.
Once decorated apply the hanger lace to the inside of one of the hearts, decide where you prefer them to be and then apply Helmar Premium Craft Glue around the edges of the heart and join the front to the back.
Run a bead of Helmar Premium Craft Glue around the outside rim and cover with a pretty trim to finish off nicely.
Sprinkle the finished hearts with glitter and they are done.
These hearts would also look nice hung in a long strip of three vertically or even a few joined together to make a banner.
I hope you all have a lovely Valentine's Day 🙂
