Conversation Heart Art {and a WINNER!}

Have you noticed all of the lovely creations using the infamous conversation hearts? I'm not a BIG fan of eating these candies, but I think they are the perfect thing to decorate with!

I made a little piece of art using conversation hearts and a few other items in my craft supplies...

-plaque (Dollar Tree)
-ribbon
-burlap
-hot glue & gun
-other embelishments

I covered the plaque in burlap and secured with hot glue.

In the center of the plaque, I hot glued the conversation hearts into the shape of a heart, starting from the outside and working my way in toward the center of the heart.

I Valentine ribbon and a few scrapbooking embellishments.

I added a tag and wrote "All you need is love" on it.

Simple, cute, and inexpensive. Goes well with all of the other Valentine decorations I have up.

This project was inspired by this project and this project! Thanks for the inspiration Michelle and Chris!!!
