DIY Heart Wall Art

January 23, 2015

diy fabric collage heart wall art
Another Valentine’s Day themed project today and one that’s easy for kids to do too!  Today I’m sharing this fabric collage wall art.

I cut out a heart shape from 3/4″ plywood but you could easily purchase one of those heart shaped frames that are precut at Michaels (and I think only $1) and do this same project.

Cut plywood edges are my favorite because it shows the layers of the pressed wood sandwich.  And use all your cute fabric scraps for this one, my squares are 1″ but any size will work.

Here it is all tucked in beside my oldest daughter’s bed.
How to make fabric collage heart wall art:
1" fabric pieces
Step 1: Cut 1″ squares from fabric scraps.  Use a clear quilting ruler and rotary cutter.

Step 2: Cut plywood to size (mine is 8″ x 8″).  Print out heart shape (mine is 4″), cut out heart then center and trace shape onto plywood.
** Easily substitute a precut heart frame from Michaels here.

Step 3: Cut out the heart shape.  In order to get your saw inside the shape drill a hole first.

Then use a jigsaw or skill saw to cut out the heart.  I used my Rockwell BladeRuuner because I happen to love that machine.

Step 4: Draw a 1″ grid pattern onto the plywood using pencil.
