From Your Heart…

Nothing represents love and the magic of Valentine’s Day like the motif of a heart; at least that is the way we have been conditioned over the last few decades. Whether it is in the case of soft toys and greeting cards or expensive jewelry and sparkling gifts, the ‘heart’ is an ever-present companion in its many shapes, hues and forms. It is barely a surprise then that it is heart-shaped crafts that make the biggest waves this time of the year. Those looking to start off with something simple can try out a project like the Decoupage Heart Necklace or even the trendy 3D geo hearts. (We absolutely adore these!)
