- Acrylic paint (I’m using white and pink)
- Pencil
- Hot glue
- Artificial flowers

Cardboard, pencil, and heart

Begin by tracing the heart on the cardboard. I used my fabric banner heart to trace four hearts on the cardboard.

Next, using scissors, cut out each heart.

Afterward, take a paintbrush and apply paint to each heart. I painted the hearts white and pink, only on the front sides.

Use hot glue to begin attaching each heart. When you finish attaching them, there will be an opening in the middle of the heart decoration.

Foam ball, cardboard hearts, and hot glue

Take your foam ball and insert it in the middle of the heart decoration. I used hot glue to gently press the foam ball into the middle and let it dry completely.

Next, take your artificial flowers and insert them into the foam ball. I carefully pressed each flower into the foam ball while holding the bottom.

Lastly, take the fabric hearts and attach them to each cardboard heart. This is completely optional. You could also add other embellishments of your choice to the decoration.

Wasn't that a simple creation using cardboard? I love how easy it was to personalize this project by adding a few materials I already had. So, before you decide to throw away that cardboard, take a moment to think about what you could create with it. I promise you'll come up with something! If you decide to make this craft, please let me know. Thank you for stopping by and crafting with me. I'll see you all soon!
