Heart Wreath

Hello Everyone,

This is the third piece that I will be submitting for Unit 1 of Certificate in Papercraft.  Please have a look and let me know what you think!

Foam mount board, covered using pages from an old Mills and Boon book and attached with a PVA, water and Acrylic Paint mix.  Can you see where I got up to on night one, before finishing off on night two with a mix that included more paint??  Ooops! :P


Lots of paper flowers, with glitter glue, brads and silk flowers attached - ready to be added to the heart base.  These were all individually cut out and took an age!!


A close up of the back of the wreath - to show how the words still show through the PVA / Acrylic mix.


Close up of the bottom half of the front of the completed wreath


 The completed wreath in full.  The banner says "Warm Hearts Welcome Here".

Enjoy!  xx

  1. Saw this on fb and love the colours. Is the wording done with embossing powders and heat gun or have you used another method? It's obvious a lot of effort has gone into it. Well done x

  2. Hi Vicki. I printed the phrase off first (a free font called Angelic War) and then went over it in full with an embossing marker, then embossing powder and then a heat gun! Phew. Thanks again for commenting! xx

  6. Love it but think I would have added some glitter or made the flowers glossy with gloss spray.
