1) Cut out heart shapes from tissue paper. If you have a Sizzix
machine with a heart die cut, this would speed up the cutting process.
Otherwise, you can cut out the hearts by hand. We have provided heart
templates on our printable page. Since tissue paper is so thin,
you can cut multiple layers at one time.
2) If you want to make a candle holder, you will need a clean glass baby
food jar. For a vase, you can choose a plain clear vase or a
canning jar. No matter which type of vase or candleholder you
decide to make, all the crafting steps are the same.
3) Using a sponge applicator, spread a layer of Mod Podge (or decoupage
glue) over a small area of the outside of your jar/vase. Lay
tissue paper hearts on top of the glue. Overlap the hearts as you
go. It may be necessary to add some Mod Podge to the back of some
of the hearts as you over lap them. Continue adding Mod Podge and
tissue paper hearts until the outside of the vase/jar is covered.
4) Spread a layer of Mod Podge over the hearts using the sponge
applicator.
Ideas:
While the Mod Podge/glue is still wet, sprinkle it with crystal glitter.
When making one of the vases, tie a piece of ribbon (approximately 24"
long) around the neck of the vase.
Using glitter glue, outline a few of the hearts on your vase.
