Framed Geometric Heart


Last week I shared some of the touches of pink I've added to our home just in time for Valentine's Day. And I like my Giant Geometric Wall Heart so much, I made a smaller framed version for our mantel. 


If you don't have space for a large scale heart like the one in our dining room, here's a more practical size.  I started by cutting ten 1 1/2" squares of pink, light pink, and glittered gold card stock.  Then I cut the squares in half to make 20 triangles.  Using double-stick tape, I adhered the triangles to a pale grey piece of card stock.  Then I just trimmed the finished piece to fit a 8x10" frame.  My angular ceramic fox (from Target) sits beside it.


I purposefully didn't  line up the triangle totally straight, I wanted it to look like it had been pieced together layered. 

I love when something so simple comes together to make something beautiful and unique.  I'll be putting this out for many Valentine's Days to come, or maybe it will find a place in the girls grey and pink bedroom.
