Happy Monday, Friends! It's been awhile since I've shared a 15 minute fix, and today I have a simple valentine project upcycled from a recent thrift store find and crafted with a previous thrifted find...

When I picked up these unfinished heart trios for .25 each, I initially planned to paint them. You may remember the farmhouse style conversation hearts I made last year, and that's what came to my mind.

However, when I started digging thru my craft stash, I noticed one remaining scrap of the pretty pink toile drawer liner I scored three years ago.

I only paid a few dollars for an opened box of the lovely paper, and I certainly got my money's worth. I used it to transform my China cabinet shelves...

...and also to craft a banner that hangs in my creativity studio.

Since I still love both projects, I decided to use the remaining toile to upcycle the bare hearts. The drawer liner is a similar weight to scrapbook paper, so feel free to improvise with your choice of paper and pattern. Ready to make your own? First: Position the hearts to display the pattern upright featuring the desired design.

Next: Trace the hearts onto the paper and cut the hearts out.

Then: Use double-sided tape to attach the paper to the wooden hearts.

Optional: If desired, you can tie a ribbon for hanging before attaching the paper. (I chose not to because I have a different plan.) I embellished mine with X-O-X. Stay tuned--you'll be seeing these romantic toile hearts again soon!

Oh my mercy! That heart trio is BEAUTIFUL! I love how it turned out. 15 minutes Huh? Well girlfriend, for me that means more like and hour! LOL! Love it! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteCecelia,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing! I love the banner and the heart!! Pinned! Thanks too for always taking the time to stop by and comment on my posts!! I truly do appreciate it!!
Hugs,

I like your banner. Sometimes a short term project is just what I'm up for! This way, you can also make it "reversible." I'm working on Valentine and St. Patrick's Days garlands--making them is new to me!
ReplyDeleteTurned out really nice. It will be fun to see what else you do with them.
ReplyDeletewhat a very cute craft. Thanks for sharing. That is a great little accent to place in your vignette for Valentine's Day. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI have dubbed this "the double thrift" and am featuring when my party opens up. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love toile! So cute!
ReplyDeleteCecilia, this is such an adorable, and easy to do craft. Just the kind I like!
ReplyDeletePinned :)
Please consider visiting my new link party called "Friday with Friends" and adding this pretty post to the party.
