Step 1
Aluminum flashing (any hardware store) Serrated edge scissors Glaze Coat (2 part epoxy resin) 18 gage wire Flat plastic (top of a takeout container will work) Aleene's Tacky Glue Jewelry pieces E-6000 Glue Clothespins Needle nose pliers Book pages or music sheets Latex gloves, plastic cups and stir sticks Chain to hang your hearts (www.ChainGallery.com)
Step 2
Cut 3/8" wide strips of aluminum flashing with serrated edge scissors (I got serrated scissors in the kitchen department at the dollar store) Bend into a heart shape Glue the edges together with E-6000 and then clamp with a clothespin until dry Trace the metal heart on a thin sheet of clear plastic *I use the tops of takeout containers Cut out and glue the metal heart to the plastic using Aleene's Tacky Glue Add more glue around the outside edges so that it's air tight
Step 3
When dry, cut out book page hearts and fill with beads and jewelry pieces
Mix equal parts of Glaze Coat and stir for a few minutes
Fill the hearts and pop the bubbles with a long arm lighter
Let dry overnight in an unoccupied part of the house or outside under a box
Create S
hooks with heavy gage wire and glue on the back with E-6000
When dry, hang from a chain
