Tuesday Tutorial: Valentine Gift Tag



It’s a week until Valentine’s Day, and I know there must be some teachers still looking for some crafts, they can have their students create. Here is a great class craft project for kids to make. This Valentine Gift Tag, was designed by Cathie and Steve. It only requires a few supplies, including some Mod Podge and FolkArt Extreme Glitter. Enjoy!

 

PLAID Supplies

·       FolkArt ® Extreme Glitter™ - Red, 5 oz.

·       FolkArt ® Acrylic Colors - Lipstick Red, 2 oz.

·       Mod Podge ® Matte, 8 oz.



Other Supplies
1 wood heart, 1 wood or chipboard tag, Decorative paper – 2 styles, Foam paint brushes, Ribbon, Hot glue gun or tacky glue, Paper flowers, and Rhinestones

Instructions

1.    Paint the wood heart red. Topcoat with 3 coats of Red Extreme Glitter. Allow to dry.

2.    Trace around the tag onto the decorative paper. Cut out the shape. Apply Mod Podge to the tag and the back of the paper. Place the paper on the tag. Apply more Mod Podge to the top, press with your finger until smooth. Apply more Mod Podge as necessary. Smooth your brush strokes.

3.    Cut a heat shape that is slightly larger than the wood heart. Glue the heart and paper flowers to the tag using Mod Podge.

4.    Once everything is dry, hot glue the heart in the center and add rhinestones. Tie a ribbon through the hole on the tag.
