Valentines Framed Candy Heart


As you guys have noticed, I am extremely into Valentines Day this year! I find that the crafts are so cute and not to mention so fun and easy to make. Sunday morning I headed to my moms studio still in my pj’s determined to make the Valentines Framed Candy Heart project. A few hot glue gun burns later I was admiring my finished project.  This crafts looks more expensive than cheap, which is inspiring! Together this craft cost me $7.
The Valentines Framed Candy Hearts look excellent placed against the back splash in the kitchen, hung, or placed on a side table along with some pretty flowers or some more Vday décor.

Items you will need:
Brown Wrapping Paper
White Picture Frame
Candy Hearts
Glue Gun
Cardboard

Step 1: Make a sturdy back page for your hearts. Meaning, where the photo would usually sit in the picture frame place a piece of cardboard there so that the hearts will have something strong to sit on because the hearts end up getting heavy. Once you have the cardboard piece ready, I used brown wrapping paper as a background for the hearts. Just glue a sheet of brown paper to the cardboard.

Step 2: With the background ready, trace a large heart in pencil onto the background. The heart outline allows you to fill the heart in with the candies perfectly.

Step 3: Time to start gluing! Now you can glue the hearts on in any pattern to fill-in the larger heart. Once the hearts are glued on make sure you rip off all the excess glue strings from the hearts. Once that’s finished, put the finished product into the frame and voila!
