Woodland Inspired Valentine Heart Ornaments

Take a cue from nature and create lovely woodland inspired DIY Valentine crafts!  This pretty buck and doe heart ornament trio makes for great wall decor.  You can even use it to decorate for a themed bridal shower to celebrate the Mr. and Mrs.

Woodland-Heart-DIY-Valentine-Crafts-Darice-1Woodland Heart DIY Valentine Crafts:

  • Darice Paper Mache Puffy Heart with String
  • Darice White Faux Fur
  • Paint
  • Stencils
  • Jute Twine
  • Embossing Ink
  • Ranger Sticky Embossing Powder
  • Pink Flocking Powder
  • Darice Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks

Woodland-Heart-DIY-Valentine-Crafts-Darice-2Step 1. Paint two of the hearts with a base color that matches the kraft paper. I used a flat milk paint from Folk Art called “Britches”. Let the paint dry completely.

Woodland-Heart-DIY-Valentine-Crafts-Darice-3Step 2.  Place the tree stencil over the painted ornament.  Load a pouncer sponge with white paint, then blot the excess off onto a paper towel.  Dab the white paint over the stencil to create the tree background. Let the paint dry.

Woodland-Heart-DIY-Valentine-Crafts-Darice-6Step 4. Pour sticky embossing powder over the inked image.  This embossing powder will become a clear adhesive when heated.  Tap off the excess powder, then use a heat tool to set the powder.

Woodland-Heart-DIY-Valentine-Crafts-Darice-7 Woodland-Heart-DIY-Valentine-Crafts-Darice-8Step 5.  Sprinkle pink flocking powder over the deer image.  Press the flocking into the adhesive, then tap the excess off.

Woodland-Heart-DIY-Valentine-Crafts-Darice-9Woodland-Heart-DIY-Valentine-Crafts-Darice-10Step 6.  Use hot glue to attach the faux fur to one side of a paper mache heart.  Trim off the excess, then hot glue fur to the back of the heart.  Trim the edges of the fur.

Woodland-Heart-DIY-Valentine-Crafts-Darice-11 Woodland-Heart-DIY-Valentine-Crafts-Darice-12 Woodland-Heart-DIY-Valentine-Crafts-Darice-13I decided to display my Woodland DIY Valentine crafts as a grouping, so I attached them to a faux birch stick.  Tie a piece of twine to the hanger on the heart, then tie the other end to the stick.  The trio looks so pretty together! Have fun crafting and creating nature inspired Valentine decor!
