DIY Shabby Chic Valentine Heart...

Dried hydrangea flowers and white paper doilies 

were the inspiration 

for this pretty

Shabby Chic Valentine Heart....

To make one you will need:

Cardboard
Glue & Hot glue gun

Dried hydrangeas

Ribbon

and some embellishments of your choice.

.-.

Cut out a heart template,

Stencil shape on to a piece of sturdy cardboard.

Enlarge the shape if necessary.

 Glue the paper doilies onto the cardboard heart.

You will need to trim them to fit...

Here's the cardboard heart with the doilies glued on. 

Now you're ready to glue on the hydrangeas...

I love hydrangeas...fresh or dried.

They bring back memories of my Grandmothers Garden.

 Place as desired on the heart, 

Then hot glue into place.

 Attach a ribbon hanger.

 And some embellishments of your choice.

I used a lovely chalkboard heart...

 Onto which I penned the word,

which is the whole purpose of Valentines Day...

LOVE!
