DIY Framed Heart with Wings

You are here: Home / Budget-Friendly / DIY Framed Heart with Wings

Hello Sweet Friends,

I have a new craft idea for you today; I guess I would say it’s a Valentine craft although it could also be considered more of an everyday craft by some. I used only things I already had on hand; some Dollar Tree items, some Walmart items, and even a freebie frame from my aunt. I wasn’t even sure I would create a blog post about it because I wasn’t sure how it would turn out, but I just love the finished piece. And I hope you do too.

Supplies needed

  • Frame 11 X 14
  • foam board (and knife to cut it)
  • MacKenzie-Childs courtly check paper napkins
  • Dollar Tree aluminum cookie tray
  • heart and angel wings pattern
  • a few Jenga blocks
  • Mod Podge
  • paints – white, brown, and red
  • scissors, glue gun, paint brush

I’ll begin with the frame and background for this project. The frame was a freebie from my aunt and I took out the glass and painted it with Waverly off-white chalk paint. Then I cut a piece of foam board to fit the frame and attached a paper napkin to it with Mod-Podge. I removed the back layer of the napkin before applying it to the foam board. When everything was dry, I glued the foam board into the frame.

To create the wings and heart, I used a free pattern I found online, and cut them out of an aluminum cookie tray from the Dollar Tree. I painted the wings with Waverly off-white chalk paint, and also used some antique wax for shading. I painted the heart with Waverly red chalk paint and used the antique wax for shading on it too. I didn’t get many pictures of the process because I got so engrossed in what I was doing.

I glued some of the Jenga blocks to the back of the wings and heart before attaching them to the frame. It gave the finished project a more 3-D look. Like I said before, I wasn’t very sure of how this would turn out, but I just LOVE the finished piece.

What do you think about this? I’d love to get your feedback!

I hope I’ve inspired you to create something similar for your home. Wishing you a beautiful day!

Happy Crafting!
XOXO

Pamela

Meet Pamela, the Creator

Pamela, Creator

Born and raised in rural, Missouri, I'm a wife of 30 years and mother to one adult son.

My interest in all things artsy-craftsy began as a young girl. If there was a craft kit for it, I've probably tried it: paint-by-number, latch-hooking rugs, candle-making, shrinky-dinks, string-art, etc. I loved them all! For many years I was able to express my creativity on-the-job as a florist, and love using silk florals in my home decorating projects.

I'm excited to share my crafting and home decorating ideas with you. I like finding that perfect thrift store item and crafting something new out of it, or giving that old piece of furniture a new life with a fresh coat of paint. I hope my projects will inspire you to get craftsy and create things to help decorate a home you love.

Happy Crafting!
