Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Create the Wooden Heart Centerpiece
Start by using the Mold-a-Wood product to craft a heart-shaped embellishment.
Press the Mold-a-Wood into the copper heart mold, ensuring the material fills all the edges for a smooth shape.
Let it cure for 24-48 hours to fully harden.
Step 2: Attach to the Blank Wooden Heart
Once the Mold-a-Wood heart has cured, remove it from the mold and attach it to the Dollar Tree wooden blank heart.
Use hot glue to secure it firmly to the surface.
This creates the base for your centerpiece and adds depth to the wreath design.
Step 3: Pour Acrylic Paint Over the Heart
In a divided silicone cup, layer your acrylic pouring paints in complementary colors (e.g., blue, aqua, whites, and teal for a unique look).
Pour the paint directly over the wooden heart, allowing it to flow naturally for a marbled, artistic effect.
This is the super satisfying and fun part of the project! Enjoy!
Step 4: Use a Heat Gun to Remove Bubbles
Immediately after pouring, use a heat tool to pop any air bubbles in the paint. This ensures a smooth, professional-looking finish. Set the heart aside to dry overnight.
Step 5: Seal the Painted Heart
Once the paint has dried, apply a light coat of poly or clear sealant spray to protect the design and give it a slight sheen. Allow the sealant to dry before moving to the next step.
Step 6: Create the Bow
Using your EZ Bow Maker (or by hand), create a multi-layered bow with assorted ribbons in colors like blue, teal, and royal blue.
Secure the bow with zip ties.
For a touch of sparkle, hot glue a rhinestone embellishment to the center of the bow.
Step 7: Assemble the Wreath
Attach the painted wooden heart to the boxwood wreath using zip ties for stability. Add your bow above or below the wooden heart centerpiece, securing it with hot glue or zip ties as needed.
Step 8: Display Your Wreath
Your heart wreath is now complete! Hang it on your front door using a ribbon or wreath hanger. This unique piece will add whimsical flair and festive charm to your Valentine’s decor.
