This is a stunning handmade craft featuring a heart-shaped photo frame surrounded by roses and supported by a floral stem on a decorated base. Below are the detailed steps to recreate this project.
Materials Needed :-
1. Cardboard or foam sheet - for the heart frame and base.
2. Wire (flexible but sturdy) - for the flower stem and heart shape.
3. Red and green foam sheets or craft paper - for roses and leaves.
4. Yarn or tape (green) - to wrap the stem.
5. Pearls or beads - for embellishments.
6. Glue (hot glue gun recommended) - for assembly.
7. Scissors and utility knife.
8. Photo - for the center of the heart.
9. Golden beads - for rose centers (optional).
10. Paint (green) - for the base and stem (if not using green tape)
Step-by-Step Instructions :-
1. Create the Heart Frame :-
- Cut out two identical heart shapes from cardboard or a foam sheet.
- Cut out the inner section of one heart to make a frame.
- Glue the solid heart and the frame together, leaving the top part unglued to insert the photo later.
- Cover the frame with red foam or craft paper and glue small red foam roses around the entire frame's edge.
2. Make the Roses :-
- Cut a circular spiral from red foam or craft paper.
- Roll the spiral tightly from the outer edge toward the center to form a rose.
- Glue the bottom to secure the rose shape.
- Repeat to make enough roses to decorate the frame and the base.
3. Create the Stem and Leaves :-
- Use wire to form the stem and branches.
- Wrap the wire tightly with green yarn or green tape.
- Cut leaf shapes from green foam or craft paper and glue them onto the branches.
4. Prepare the Base :-
- Cut a circular base from cardboard or foam sheet.
- Paint it green or cover it with green foam.
- Decorate the base with small red roses and pearls evenly spaced around the edge.
5. Assemble the Heart and Stem :-
- Attach the heart frame to the top of the stem using hot glue.
- Secure the stem to the base by inserting it into a small hole in the center of the base and gluing it firmly.
6. Final Decorations :-
- Add pearls to the base and branches for extra embellishment.
- Insert your chosen photo into the heart frame.
Tips:-
- Use hot glue for a strong hold, especially when attaching heavier parts like the heart frame and stem.
- Be creative with colors and decorations; you can use glitter, ribbons, or additional embellishments.
- For added stability, use a small wooden dowel inside the stem wire.
