This project has two of my favorite things: chevron and burlap, so it's no wonder why I love it so much! Especially hanging against our teal door (which yes, badly needs a new paint job). This project was very inexpensive. I think I paid $1.50 for the heart after my 50% off coupon, and 50 cents for the ink paint. The rest of the supplies I had on hand.
in order to make this, you'll need:
wood heart, twine, burlap, paint, hot glue gun, chevron pattern, painter's tape
I first painted a few layers of white onto the heart. When that dried, I used this pattern from Billie Monster to create my chevron design. Then I used the pink paint to fill in, I did this twice to be certain the pink was bright enough.
When the paint was dry, I peeled off the painter's tape and hot glued the burlap bow and twine to the back for hanging.
To tie a perfect looking bow, I found this tutorial from the Southern Mess blog.
I couldn't wait to hang this on my door, so I headed out in the freezing cold temperatures in the middle of a snowstorm to hang it and take these pictures. But doesn't it look like it was a warm sunny day?
I am the last person to be complaining about the snow. I actually love that we've had snow on the ground since November, but even I'm starting to dream of warmer temperatures. Especially since our furnace died this weekend and it was a cool, crisp 57 degrees in here this morning. Yikes!
Happy February!
Did you bust out your valentine's decorations this weekend? I had every intention but just never got around to it!
Love this! I don't have many Valentine's decorations, so I need to make some. I always have some type of wreath or something on my front door, and this would be perfect for Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteI love having something on the front door, no matter what the season!
DeleteI adore anything chevron and this is just another cute project!
ReplyDeleteI am a bit chevron obsessed myself...
DeleteI love this!!! I have been racking my brain with ways to decorate our burlap wreath for Valentines day but I might just take it down and work on a more spring or Easter themed one and in the meantime hang up a heart one like this one (: I love the chevron too!!!
