Materials

Mod podge

Wooden hearts

Decorative craft paper

Faux flowers

Twine

Hot glue

Scissors

Floral cutters

Craft knife

Acrylic paint

One pencil for tracing

Step one: Tracing the wooden hearts on decorative paper

Begin by placing your wooden hearts on top
of your decorative paper and using a pencil to trace each heart out. Be sure to trace out the middle heart too.


Use scissors to cut out the hearts
that you traced. Take your traced-out hearts and using a craft knife begin to remove the middle heart. 
If you find this difficult, try poking a tiny hole and carefully use your scissors to cut out the middle heart. Repeat these steps when working with your second set of hearts.

Step two: Adding Mod Podge and decorative paper

You are now ready to apply for your Mod Podge. Apply a thin layer of Mod-Podge onto each heart and place your decorative heart over the mod podge. Add a layer of Mod Podge on top of your decorative heart. Use either a blow dryer or heat gun to help dry your Mod Podge. Or you can use other Mod podge techniques that you may find easier.


This is optional, but you can add acrylic paint around the center heart on each of your hearts.

Step three: Adding twine or string

Next, take your craft string, or twine and begin to pull your twine through the top hole on your heart. I used a pencil to poke through the decorative paper when exposing the hole on top. One tip that I will suggest is if you want your wooden hearts to lay flat, I would recommend gluing the hearts to your twine and of course, leaving a gap between each heart. 


Step four: Cutting and attaching flowers

Lastly, take your floral cutters and cut your faux flowers. Use your hot glue to attach each flower to your twine. I glued my flowers between each heart.


Your hearts are complete and ready to be displayed. This is such a fun way to decorate the wooden hearts from Dollar Tree. Let me know if you create your very own. I'll see you all soon.

    Love these! I will see if my Dollar Tree has any. I might use some vintage sheet music to make a Valentine banner for my choir classes. Thanks for sharing at All About Home!

Easy Steps to Create a Cozy Autumn Tablescape at Home

Hello everyone! I’m excited that you decided to visit the blog today. I wanted to share how to create a cozy autumn tablescape at home. My goal was to design something warm and inviting, as our table is a space where we share conversations, drink coffee, tackle homework, and simply enjoy each other’s company.  I typically don’t go all out when decorating my dining table, but I wanted to show you how I styled it using decor pieces I already had. I would love for you to join me in this decorating adventure! Watch the video tutorial Create a Cozy Autumn Tablescape at Home Items I'm adding to my table:  -White tablecloth runner - Battery-operated leaf lights  - Reusing glass jars  - Mini pumpkins and other fall decorations  - Small "Hello Fall" sign  - Faux flowers I began by spreading my white tablecloth down the center of the table.

How I Refreshed an Old Garden Statue with Paint (Easy Patio DIY)

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.  Watch the Video Tutorial 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 a...

Three Easy Candle Jar Ideas for Cozy Porch Décor

I've always thought there was something so comforting about soft candlelight, especially when it’s paired with a few simple faux florals and greenery. Today, I’m sharing a sweet little project in which I decorated a glass jar in three different ways. Each jar has its own personality, glow, and gentle charm. These pieces are perfect for porch décor, but they work beautifully anywhere you want to add a touch of warmth. I love projects like this—simple materials, quiet moments, and a finished piece that feels peaceful and handmade. Watch the Video Tutorial Materials I Used Clear glass jar Battery‑operated candle Faux string of pearls Faux succulents Faux vine Bright pink faux flowers (tops removed from stems) Yellow faux flowers Faux foliage Optional: woven mat or tray for display Jar 1: Succulents & String of Pearls For the first jar, I wanted something earthy and calming. I placed a faux string of pearls inside the jar and let it settle naturally. Around it, I tucked in a few fa...

How to Make Easy Beaded Wine Glass Charms

 I love creating small, simple crafts that add a personal touch to gatherings, and these wine glass charms were such a fun project. They’re easy to make, customizable, and perfect for parties, holidays, or even a cozy night in with friends. Each charm slips right onto the stem of a wine glass, making it easy for everyone to keep track of their drink. These charms come together quickly using beads, wire rings, and small metal pendants. You can mix and match colors and charms to fit any theme, and each one turns out a little different — which is part of the fun. Watch the video tutorial Materials Here’s what I used to make my wine glass charms: Wire rings Beads Small metal charms Jewelry pliers If your wire rings need trimming, use wire cutters—mine didn’t, so I didn’t need them for this project.  Choose your beads and charms Pick out the colors and shapes you want to use. I chose soft pinks, purples, and clear beads, along with heart, spiral, and flower charms. Each charm desig...
