3 cups pink or red excelsior
1 cup fabric stiffener
Pink, red or white ribbon
Small white flowers
White craft glue
Chenille stem
Zipper type plastic bag
Option: Candles and candle holders
Instructions:
Place the excelsior in the zipper bag and add fabric stiffener. Work the stiffener through the excelsior molding it into the shape of a heart. When the stiffener is evenly distributed throughout cut two sides of the bag and open flat allowing your heart to dry on the plastic.
When completely dry bring the ribbon from the lower left side of the point diagonally across the heart and glue in place.
Make your bow and add a few streamers. Center half of a chenille stem around the bow, twist then insert the chenille stem into the heart at the upper right end of the ribbon.
Glue the small flowers randomly into the excelsior over the entire surface of the heart.
Twist the second half of the chenille stem to form a hanging loop and dip in glue and insert in the top of the heart as a hanger.
Option: Candles and candle holders can be added when used as a centerpiece.
Nice project to do together
