Directions:
- Remove the twine hanger from the wood heart.
- Paint the heart with acrylic paint. I used white.
- I created a large heart mask for the center of the wood heart using StyleTechCraft Matte Removable Vinyl*.
- Press down the edges of the mask so that paint can’t get under the mask.
- Cut 1″ strips of Removable Vinyl*. Lay the strips across the wood heart.
- Rub your finger over the vinyl strips to make sure that they are secure and have no gaps.
- Paint inside the stripes with a thin coat of acrylic paint. Be careful not to apply the paint too thick. Only one thin coat of paint is needed.
- Remove the vinyl strips.
- Allow the paint to fully dry before continuing to the next step.
- Next, add strips of removable vinyl vertically over the heart.
- Make sure the tape is flat with no gaps.
- Paint over the heart with a thin coat a darker pink paint.
- Carefully remove the tape. Allow the paint to dry.
- Remove the strips and the heart mask. Allow the paint to dry.
- Lightly sand the wood heart. Sanding smooths the paint and helps to hide any little imperfections.
- Wipe with a clean cloth.
- For the center of the heart, I created a Valentine’s greeting using StyleTechCraft Adhesive Red Luster Vinyl*.
- I cut the words “Happy Valentine’s Day” using a SVG cut file from the Silhouette Store and a Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die Cutting Machine*.
- I removed the extra vinyl in and around the image words using a Vinyl Weeding Tool.
- Lay the StyleTechCraft Vinyl Transfer Tape* over the vinyl words and gently rub with a vinyl scraper tool. (Included with the StyleTechCraft Vinyl Tool Kit*).
