2) On the painted side of the heart, run a bead of glue close to the
edge following the shape of the heart. Place a row of beads around
the heart shape pressing them into the glue as you go. When
placing the beads, I made sure all my beads were going the same way - so
that the holes were facing up - but this is just a matter of taste.
3) Once the beads are all in place, carefully turn your heart over
and place it on your work surface so that the beads are face down.
Glue a bar pin to the back and leave the heart in this position until
the glue is dry.
Ideas:
- If making these pins with younger children, start with a larger
size wooden heart and larger beads as the small beads can be
difficult for young children to manipulate.
- Try different color combinations, such as red paint with white
beads.
