Your choice of colors

Instructions:

1). Cut the pin pieces from ¼” wood (or thinner if desired). Sand any rough edges smooth and wipe clean.

2). Basecoat the larger heart with your choice of color. Basecoat the smaller heart with a co-ordinating color.

3). Basecoat the lettering on the small heart with your choice of color. Let dry.

Assemble:

Using 26-gauge wire, wrap the large heart as you desire, adding bead embellishments as you go. (Do not add beads to the back of the piece). Glue smaller heart as shown. Glue pin back to the back of the large heart. Finish all pieces with Matte varnish. Enjoy!

Enjoy!
