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!
