Let’s grab your supplies, channel your inner artist, and let get crafting!
Step 1:
Take your Dark Brown Vine Wired Rope, which is a 16 gauge wire. You will cut a piece that is about 40 inches long.
Once cut, start shaping it into a ‘Heart’ shape. No worries on perfection at this point. Once you get the beads on, this will allow you to have a better grip and bend into your shape you desire.
Step 2:
Start stringing the wooden beads onto both sides of the Heart shaped wire. I used about 2 package of 3/4 inch beads (60 pieces).
Step 3:
Once you have the wire filled with the desired amount of beads, we need to secure the top.
Here, you’ll weave one end of the center wire heart. Grab the opposite curved side of the center heart and carefully remove the vine, revealing around 1 inch of wire. Afterward, thread that wire through the same bead. Once both wires are through the bead, bend them backward.
Step 4:
This is the time you can add any accents you desire. Since this is for Valentine’s Day, I’ve chose to attach a simple heart ribbon bow to one side, leaving long tails.
This can be displayed on a mantel, door, or where ever you wish to add a little more love to an area.

Let’s grab your supplies, channel your inner artist, and let get crafting!
Step 1:
Grab your mod podge and glitter of choice. I went with a multicolor glitter to add more fun to the clothespins. You will then mix the two together. You will need more glitter than glue.
Layer on the mixture over the front and back of the clothespin. You can do sides too, if you would like. You may need to go back with a 2nd coat to get the fullness of the glitter. Take a hair dryer and dry (speeds up the process).
Look at that sparkle
Step 2:
As the clothespins are drying, here you can start creating the love bugs “antennas”. I chose to go with a tinsel red pipe cleaner.
You will fold the pipe cleaner in half and twist together. Fold in half again and twist. Then you will bend down the tops at a angle to get that antenna look.
After shaping the “antennas” to your preference, use your hot glue to glue them onto one side of the clothespins’ opening. Apply pressure by closing the clothespin. This will help ensure a good hold
Grab some fun googly eyes and glue into place on the top near the opening of the clothespin. Here i went with the 10mm googly eyes.
Fill it with your favorite bagged candy for the wings! Then you are all set. Hand out to your family, classroom friends, and any others that might need a smile on Valentine’s day!
