Start with a piece of barn wood. Another option if you do not have barn wood you can check out this link for barn wood on Amazon. These are great for crafts!

One Dollar Tree tile. (actually, you will only need half a square tile)

Some other items I will use are a couple pieces of ribbon, paint and a button or 2.

I have these on hand also for crafts. They come on darker wood or

I cut this is half because this is the width of the barnwood, and this is all I will need. I will save the other half for something else down the road! Trust me this tile is worth keeping!

I placed the tile on the barnwood so I would know exactly how big I wanted my heart. Remember your heart DOES not need to be perfect – that is what makes it crafty and neat!

Just making sure it will fit…then I grabbed my wrapping for the tile to use it as a paint catcher.

Painted one solid coat of the red paint and let it dry.

Make sure red is COMPLETLEY dry in all the cracks and crevices before your coat of black.

Paint one good coat and right after the whole heart is painted wipe it off with a damp paper towel.

Then I let this dry and once it was dry I added a little glue on the back. I glued one dab on each top of the heart and bottom point of the heart.

Then I took a thinner piece of burlap ribbon and tied one strip long enough to wrap around the center and glued it in place.

Then grabbed a piece of my lace ribbon and tied that around making a knot.

I thought it needed a little extra something, so I put a little glue in the middle to add a button! This set it off so nicely!

You can add some jute rope on the back or a claw hanger to use it for hanging…

Or it is pretty just sitting out on a shelf.
