Tissue paper and Mod PodgeMod Podge and tissue paper over wooden heart

Begin by cutting a section of tissue paper that you will add to the wooden heart. You can choose to add the paper to only half of the heart or cover the entire surface. 

Next, apply Mod Podge to the section of the heart where you will add the tissue paper. Place the tissue paper over the Mod Podge and cover it with a sheet of parchment paper. Use a mini iron to iron over the paper, which will help reduce the appearance of creases and lines. 

Using a sanding block
