This is a very easy project made from wooden hearts, scrapbook paper, and ribbon.  Using scrapbook paper makes this a very versatile project that can have many different looks.

Materials:

  • scrapbook paper  ( I used one that had several different patterns on the same sheet.)
  • wooden hearts
  • ribbon
  • glue
  • drill to make holes

About Elaine Kazinec

I have never met anyone who can't make wonderful things for their homes, friends, and family, only those who think they can't. The purpose of this blog is to show everyone how really simple most projects for the home are to make. When my husband and I bought our first home we were short on cash so I learned to be long on creativity. I have been told that I can make something wonderful out of nothing and that is true. You can too! Some of my favorite things are items that I found in someone's junk pile. I am going to show you how easy it really is. I hope you find the courage to jump in and attempt some of these projects. You will be amazed at how talented you really are.
