Dollar Tree Hanging Heart Decoration

Are you looking for an affordable way to add some love to your home? Why not try making a Dollar Tree Hanging Heart Decoration? In this project, we will be creating a beautiful hanging heart decoration using a wooden heart plaque that I found at Dollar Tree last year. I will provide you with a material list below, and you can also find it in the video tutorial that I have included.

materials, twine, faux succulents, tissue paper, and Mod Podge

Materials needed

One wood heart decoration
Decorative tissue paper
Acrylic paint
Paintbrush
Mod Podge
Hot glue
Wooden beads
Twine or craft rope
Scissors
Optional craft gems
Faux floral
Pencil for tracing

Cutting and applying the decorative tissue paper

Begin by taking your decorative tissue paper, and cutting a small section of it. I cut a small square section of my tissue paper. You will need just enough to trace out the smaller heart in the middle of your plaque. Next, take your pencil and start to trace out your tissue paper on the smaller heart. Take your scissors and cut out the traced heart of tissue paper.

Mod Podge and wooden heart

Next, take your Mod Podge and apply Mod Podge to your smaller heart. After applying your Mod Podge, take your traced-out heart and add it over the Mod Podge surface. Smooth out your tissue paper. Use my blow dryer to help with drying and creating a smooth surface. After, take a second coat of Mod Podge and add it over the decorative paper. Repeat the above steps.

Next, take your acrylic paint and begin to add your paint onto the larger heart surface. I gave it around two coats of paint.

Adding faux flowers and leaves

You are now ready to add on your leaves and flowers. I chose some paper craft pressed leaves and my smaller succulent flowers. I added them using hot glue. I attached them to one section on the bottom of my heart plaque.

Adding embellishments

This is optional, but I added a few of my faux pearls around the smaller heart. Even though the pearls have a sticky backing,  I used my E6000 adhesive. I wanted to make sure that they would not fall off.

Adding beads and twine

Lastly, take your twine and begin to string on your wooden beads. You will want to determine how long you want your twine to be since this will be used for hanging the heart decoration. Depending on the size, you may not need to use many beads. My twine was medium-length. After adding my beads, I tied a knot on one end, took my scissors cut the twine on the other end, and then tied it off. I left a small amount of the twine on both ends of my knot. Flip your heart over, and using hot glue, attach your twine to the back, creating a loop.
