We decided to give you a special bonus craft for our holiday issue! "The Button/Toile Reversible Heart Ornament" will be a special addition to your tree this holiday season.
The Toile design is extremely popular right now, and it gives you a very antique look. So, we have created this ornament to be not only with a heirloom look, but very up-to-date at the same time!
Make sure to make several, and maybe incorporate a special button or two with sentimental value!
Let us get started.
Materials Needed:
1) Wooden heart ...(can be bought in a your local craft store) the size depends on you!
2) Toile material ....we picked a blue design
3) Buttons
4) Craft Glue
5) Scissors
6) Lace
7) Heart charm ...optional
8) Cord...for the hanger
Let's Create:
1) Trace the heart on the material...make sure to leave approximately 1/2" to overlap.
2) Glue material to heart...make sure to smooth the material with your fingers so the glue will be spread evenly. Overlap the material to the other side and smooth out a little section at a time.
3) Glue your lace around the heart on the reverse side of the material.
4) Start gluing your buttons to the blank side of the heart. Start from the outside in.
5) Before completing the top of the heart with the buttons glue your cord for a hanger.
6) Let dry for several hours.
