It’s been a while since I have shared a project with you and this week, I have 3 quick and easy Valentine’s Day projects to share. Each one of these projects is a completely different style. Each one is incredibly easy, inexpensive and takes no more than 15 minutes to put together. Today we are sharing a Shabby Chic Twine Valentine project.
– An 8×10 Canvas Panel
– Piece of scrap paper
– Pencil
– Twine
– Elmer’s Glue
– Scissors
– Chalk Paint or acrylic paint in cream
– Paint Brush
– Paper Towel
I started by taking my scrap paper and folded it in 1/2 and cut out a heart shape.
Laying the heart on the canvas, I lightly traced it onto the canvas using a pencil.
I filled the heart shape with Elmer’s glue.
I cut strips of twine to fill in the heart.
To get the ‘shabby’ look, I took a paint brush a lightly painted the heart with chalk paint and before it dried, I rubbed some of it off with a paper towel.
I framed this with a resin frame I picked up at Hobby Lobby a few months ago. Love these frames!
This non-traditional shabby chic twine heart looks beautiful sitting on my mantel and received a thumbs up from Mr. Hobby.
Thank you for the visit!
Indoor watering is a different problem from outdoor watering. You need a long, narrow spout that reaches between leaves without dribbling on the floor, a balanced shape so a one-litre fill doesn’t fight you, and a finish
Soaker hoses are the old reliable: a length of porous rubber or punched poly tubing that weeps water along its full length when the tap is on. Less precise than drip, less expensive than smart irrigation, and entirely go
A coiled hose on the lawn looks rustic for about a week, then it kinks, gets mowed over, and trips someone. A wall-mounted hose reel keeps it tidy, lengthens the life of the hose by half, and pays itself off the first ti
Hand-watering a productive vegetable garden in summer is two hours a day you don’t have. Drip irrigation cuts that to a minute (turn the tap on) plus 15 minutes a week of fault-finding. The plants grow faster, water bill
If you replace your garden hose every two years, you’re buying the wrong hose. A good hose lasts a decade, doesn’t kink at the tap, doesn’t split where you accidentally drove the mower over it once, and doesn’t leach pla
A leaf blower piles leaves up. A garden vacuum picks them up and shreds them in the same motion, turning a cubic metre of dry leaves into a quarter-cubic-metre of perfect leaf-mould feedstock. For under-tree borders, law
