Let's make a sweet little decoration
for Sweetheart's day!
First, gather your supplies. You will need:
Scrapbook Paper
Scissors and Glue
Ribbon
Paint
A Glitter Heart (Package purchased at WM for $1.50, but you could easily make your own)
Artist Canvas (You can find these in any craft store. These were purchased at WM, 3/$2.50 for 8x10 size. They can be also found in 7x9 sizes at the dollar store 2/$1.)
Next, mark and drill two holes on one side of all three canvas panels. Then on one canvas, drill two more holes on the opposite side. If you don't own a drill, you could easily make the holes using a hammer and nail to punch through the canvas.
Paint the two canvases with two holes. I used spray paint, but any craft paint will do. Or you could cover them with scrapbook paper.
Cover the canvas with the four holes with scrapbook paper.
Glue on a large glitter heart.
Cut two large I's and two large U's out of coordinating paper.
Stagger the two pieces for a shadow effect and glue them onto the painted canvases.
String ribbon through the holes in the canvases to tie all three together.
And there you have a sweet, and fairly easy, Valentine's Day decoration!

That was nice and easy! Maybe next week I'll gather the grand kids and we'll make one for their Mom & Dad. Thanks for the idea. Sally
Joy, this is adorable! You're almost making me wish I didn't boycott Walmart, too--people keep finding such great stuff there. Luckily we do have a Dollar Tree store not too far away, so I can always find some of this stuff there.
Love this one!

If you used a template for the letters, where did it come from?
I'm going to make your monogram letter plaque soon. : )

Didn't read all the comments, perhaps someone already said this, but you could put the letter and heart going the other direction, make the ribbons a little looser, and hang these vertically on a wall. Love this idea. You're a genius!
Very cute! Will have to try this!
Joy this is adorable. I love easy Valentine decor and this is it. Plus it is way too cute! Thanks.
