make it yourself

Here is a pretty idea using air-dry clay!
The clay hearts are imprinted with dried flowers. These would make a pretty bridal shower favor too!
Roll clay to about 1/4 inch thickness. I use a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking
What to do:
01
Scatter dried flower stems. I'm using baby's breath & seeded eucaplyptus
What to do:
02
Remove flowers. Use a toothpick to lift away any pieces of flowers left behind.
What to do next:
03
With a cookie cutter. I tried to cut the hearts with the flowers facing upwards.
Don't forget
04
Use straw to make a hole for hanging the hearts.
Place the clay hearts on a baker's cooling rack to dry. The air can circulate and clay will dry faster.
You could leave the hearts natural or paint them when dried. I used a gloss white spray paint, you could use gloss acrylic & brush it on too.
Finish Up:
06
Fold a 24" length of jute in half. Run loop through clay heart;tighten. I also added a pink bead.
