Step 1: Cut out the cardboard hearts
- Gather all the necessary materials on
a well-lit table.
- Use the scissors to cut out heart
shapes from the cardboard. The size depends on your preference, but make
sure they're not too big or too small.
Step 2: Apply the colour with the watercolour markers:
- Use Colorex watercolour
markers to colour the
cardboard hearts. Be creative with patterns and colour
combinations.
- Gently apply glue
to certain areas of the
hearts and place gold
leaf to add shiny accents. Press gently to adhere.
- Leave the decorations to dry
completely before moving on to the next step.
Step 3: Hang on the tree
- Use a hole punch or a small pointed
object to make a hole in the top of each heart. Make sure it's big enough
for the ribbon to pass through.
- Thread the ribbon through each hole
and tie a knot to create a loop for hanging the decorations on the tree.
- Your beautiful heart-shaped
decorations are ready! Hang them proudly on your Christmas tree.
Use this creative project to add a
sparkling personal touch to your Christmas decorations!
