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.

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...

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...
