Heart Pin
Instructions for making a heart-shaped pin out of wood.

Materials Needed:

  • 2 - 3 Inch Wooden Heart
  • Paint
  • Pin Backing
  • Misc Supplies (See Below)
Instructions:
You should be able to find these thin, wooden hearts at your local craft supply store. You should also be able to find the pin backings in the jewelry making section of your local craft store.

Paint your heart any color you want. Set it aside to dry. Use paint to make faces or write messages on your heart. You can use other supplies to decorate your heart toO; try glitter, lace, ribbon, wiggle eyes, or anything else you can think of. Be creative. The only thing you will need to keep in mind is that you will not want your heart to be too heavy. Here are a few examples:

           

Once all the paint and/or glue is dry, glue the pin backing onto the back of your decorated heart and let it sit until it is completely dry.
