I love Valentine’s Day! It’s one of my favorite days of the year, so each year at this time I have fun putting together little treat bags and such for the special ones in my life! Here I’ve created a hanging heart to hold some candy words that I made.
To create this heart, you’ll need 2 pieces of the Sweet paper from the Enchanting line. I cut a large heart from a piece of white paper and then traced it onto the back of my Sweet paper, made 2 of these and then I stitched them together with my sewing machine sandwiching some pink ric rac in between. You can temporarily adhere these layers together, so they will stay together while sewing. Be sure to leave the top open and not stitch it closed.
Next, I punched 2 holes in the heart, one on each side to tie a ribbon for hanging. Just pull the ribbon through to the front and tie a bow on one side and knot the other end. I added a chipboard piece and rub on saying (“delightful”) from the Enchanting line also. Then stuff the heart with shredded paper and candies!
To create the candy words, I found a plastic mold tray at AC Moore. All you do is melt white chocolate or Almond Bark, add a bit of pink food coloring and pour the melted candy into the tray. Put the tray into the freezer for about 10-15 minutes to harden the candy words, then pop them out and wrap them with clear cellophane!
