Potpourri Hearts Valentine – Handmade Valentines Project

A Valentine that is as fragrant as all the sweetest smelling flowers put together. Real potpourri adorns this Valentine making it as unique as the special person in your life.

Materials Required:

• Red colored card blank – 6″ x 4″
• Pink craft paper
• 2 Heart cutouts/dies – preferably in white/cream/pink or red color
• Potpourri
• Red Felt Tip Pen
• Decorative Edged Scissors

Directions:

1. Cut pink craft paper with decorative edged scissors and glue it to the card stock horizontally as seen in the picture.

2. Cover work area with old rags or newspapers to proceed to the hearts. Use a brush to evenly smear a thick layer of craft glue over the heart cutouts. Now quickly and deftly pour lots of potpourri over the hearts taking care to use only the larger flower petals (preferably pink or red rose petals) to cover most of the surface. Once this is done, fill up the remaining gaps with smaller buds and lavender etc.

3. Let the potpourri hearts dry completely before lifting them to dust off any excess potpourri. After dusting off the excess, if you see any more blank spots, fill them up now.

4. Stick the hearts in the center of the pink craft paper rectangle.

5. Write ‘Valentine’ or your own message to complete the sweetest smelling Valentine ever.
