Materials
One Wooden heart
(Target Dollar Aisle)
Three large wooden beads
Diamond Gem wrap
(Purchased at the Dollar Tree. Sticky backing)
Paintbrush
Paint
(I'm using a light pink)
Scissors
Faux Flowers
Adhesive
(E6000, Any will work)
Hot Glue
Start by taking your wooden heart, and applying pink paint to the front surface. It is entirely up to you, but you can also apply paint to the bottom side of your wooden heart.
You will need around two coats of paint when you are completely finished. Once you have applied all coats of the paint, set your wooden heart aside, and allow it to dry.
First, take three large beads and apply some white paint to each of them. Set them aside to dry.
After the beads have dried, flip the wooden heart over and use adhesive to attach them to the bottom side of the heart. Place two beads on the upper section and one on the lower end.
Next, it's time to add the gem wrap. You can find different colors of gems at your local dollar store. For this project, diamond gems were used.
Start by cutting sections of the gem wrap and removing the paper backing from the backside of the gems. Then, gently press the gems down and around the front section of the wooden heart. As you apply the gems, you will form the shape of the heart around the heart.
After adding your gem wrap, you can now start to add your faux flowers to your wooden heart. Take your scissors, or wire cutters, and cut sections of your leaves, and flowers apart.
Using a hot glue gun, add your leaves, and flowers to the bottom section of your wooden heart.
You're all finished. Adding your flowers, and leaves to the heart is the last step to complete this project.
You can add a small potted plant and a glass jar with an LED candle. It is simple, and so pretty when displayed. I hope that you have enjoyed this simple DIY project.

I created these magnetic faux succulent and floral lids using some metal jar tops that I had saved. With a little creativity, they transformed into charming, lightweight accents that add a pop of color and personality to the fridge. Each lid features its own tiny arrangement—part succulent and part floral—all crafted with intention and charm. This project is easy and budget-friendly, allowing you to use items you already have while adding a lovely touch to your home. Quick Video Tutorial Materials Metal jar lids (one large, one small) Letter beads (to spell LOVE ) Faux moss Faux succulents Faux vines Faux flowers (pink, green foliage, white accents) Hot glue gun and glue sticks Magnets I began with the larger metal lid, attaching small letter beads to spell out LOVE . This created a meaningful little focal point and set the tone for the rest of the design. Next, I glued a layer of faux moss along the bottom of the lid. The moss added softness and helped anchor the colorful...
I recently found a floral summer sign made of plywood at Michaels and decided to personalize it with some paint and lettering. I used my new Cricut Maker 3 for this DIY project and I'm excited to share the process with you. Join me as I show you how to paint and decorate this simple project. Video tutorial Materials needed: - Floral plywood sign - Acrylic paint - Paintbrush - Lettering (created with Cricut Maker 3 and foil matte vinyl) You can use stencil or sticker lettering of your choice Start by applying paint to your plywood sign. I started with white and yellow paint for the center of my sign. Next, apply paint to each of the flowers on the sign. I used darker pink, yellow, light blue, and yellow colors. After that, I used my Cricut Maker 3 to create a "hello summer" lettering using foil matte vinyl. You can use any lettering or stencil you prefer. This was my first time using the Mother's Day gift I received. To apply my letters, I gently removed them with my ...
💖 Valentine’s Day is a wonderful opportunity to add a bit of extra love to your home. A simple and charming craft that you can complete in under an hour is decorating glass jars. These jars are sweet, customizable, and budget-friendly. Whether you’re making a romantic centerpiece, a cute gift, or simply enhancing the festive vibe in your space, this DIY project is both enjoyable and beautiful. Video tutorial below ❤️ Materials You’ll Need Two small glass jars (any size or shape you love) Acrylic paint or chalk paint Heart fabric garland Heart stickers Hot glue Artificial flowers Mod Podge Paintbrush Paint Your Jars and Seal with Mod Podge Begin by applying a coat of either acrylic or chalk paint to your jars. Chalk paint provides a soft, matte finish, while acrylic paint offers brighter colors; both options look great. I chose acrylic paint and applied several coats, allowing each coat to dry in between. After the first coat has dried, apply a seco...
This charming toad perched on his toadstool has been a beloved part of our patio for years, enduring the passage of time while gradually succumbing to the effects of sun and weather. With each season, he has faded a little more, losing some of his vibrant colors and details. Rather than allowing him to blend into the background and become just another forgotten decoration, I decided it was time to breathe new life into him. I shared the whole process in a quick YouTube Shorts video called “Watch Me Refresh This Old Garden Statue.” It’s a simple before‑and‑after, but such a satisfying one. Materials I Used Garden statue (mine is a toad on a toadstool) Sandpaper Acrylic paints Small detail brushes Mod Podge (for sealing and protection) Sanding and Painting I began by gently sanding the statue to smooth out the chipped and faded paint. It only takes a few minutes, but it makes such a difference. Once the surface felt ready, I brought out my acrylic paints and started...
