RIBBON HEART & TASSEL DIY CANARY JANE

Here is my craft of the love season. I finally just got my Christmas décor taken down and it was time to switch it out. I’ve been really obsessed with the boho vibe like when I made my Fourth of July flag so I decided to do the same with Valentines Day and start with some décor. So here is how to make the Ribbon Hearts and Tassels.

MATERIALS

Wax paper
Ribbon
Mod Podge
Sponge brush
Scissors
Yarn
Hot glue gun
Embroidery hoop
Chunky Yarn Tassel (Find instructions here)

DIRECTIONS

Step 1
Take a piece of wax paper that will accommodate your hearts plus some more space.

Step 2
Cut various length of ribbon and, one by one, use a brush to generously paint the ribbon with Mod Podge. I would suggest to have a glop of Mod Podge you run the ribbon through separate from where it will dry. This is because the ribbon can get stuck to the wax paper.

Step 3
Quickly arrange the ribbon in the shape of a heart and set on wax paper to dry hard. Your hands will get messy so take off those rings.
If you are using lace ribbon, it may need some extra support. Mod Podge another ribbon to the back for more structure.

Step 4
Using the step found in this post, make a tassel out of yarn, leaving an extra strand to loop through the heart when dry
Cut an extra piece of yarn and add a loop to the top of the heart so it may hang

Step 5
Cut various ribbons to the same length and use hot glue to hang them from the bottom of the embroidery hoop.

Step 6
Hang the heart from the clasp of the embroidery hoop, allowing it to dangle in the middle of the hoop. Voila!

Extra Tips
Trim the hearts if their are any overlapping pieces. Hot glue the middle pieces of the hearts if any need extra support. These hearts are fragile so be sure to hang them in a place they will not be touched much. You can do more than one coat on the ribbons. Just remember that the glue has a yellow tint and will add to the ribbon.
