Heart-shaped door hanger

Materials:
  • Bowdabra bow maker
  • Heart shape sign
  • Plastic wall tile
  • 2 coordinating scrapbook papers
  • ModPodge
  • Plaster chalk paint by Waverly
  • Distress Ink: Antique Linen, Rusty Hinge
  • Kraft paper tag
  • Bow: 6″ strips of coordinating fabrics or ribbon with neutrals such as burlap, muslin, and cheesecloth
  • Greenery used: Spanish moss, rose with rose petals
  • Tag printable
Instructions:
First, remove any pieces off of the hear-shaped sign and then sand smooth. Next, cut out the paper for the sign and then add a layer of ModPodge all around the heart shape. Then attach your paper smoothing out any wrinkles.  When dry, sand all around the edges
Next, cut out the heart plastic tile and use an Xacto to cut out a piece from the center.  Then brush some chalk paint all around the tile.
Now use the corresponding printed paper to put behind the tile to show through the peek-a-boo window and glue it to the main heart-shaped sign.  Now, use the distressing inks all around the sign, blending well. Seal it with a layer of ModPodge.
Make the Bow:

First, cut a piece of twine fold it in half, and lay it in the Bowdabra.  Next, begin layering 6-inch pieces of various colored fabrics in the Bowdabra. Once you have layered enough, pull up on the loose twine thread it through the loop, and pull tight.  Remove from the Bowdabra, turn to the back, and tie a knot.

Trim the ends of the bow if needed and fluff out. Finally, glue a small rose and leaves to the center of the bow. Add the free printable underneath the bow gluing to secure. Add the string hanger to the Heart-shaped door hanger and enjoy!
