I found this cute little heart-shaped Valentine's Day frame at Target over the weekend. I liked that it was white, making it the perfect blank canvas for some embellishing...
It's no secret that I am crazy for tiny, flocked paper forget-me not flowers. I really can't get enough of them! I collect the vintage ones, but often stock up of the reproduction variety as well. You can find tons of them for sale on eBay and Etsy.
I thought they would be perfect for covering my heart frame, as they are small and dainty.
So, I got out my glue gun and got to work. All I had to do was snip off the little flower heads and affix them to the frame in a pleasing pattern. This took some time, but it was super easy.
I put a piece of flocked wrapping paper inside the frame to give you an idea of the finished project, but a personal photo would be even better. I think this would make a sweet Valentine's Day gift for someone special!
Happy Tuesday!
:-)

Cute, cute, cute. I love your site. I think I may have to institute some Target Tuesdays of my own.

that is such a sweet idea. And bless you for sharing where you can get these flowers. I bought some from 100 Wishes last year, but have never seen them anywhere else - certainly not in England, although we do have tiny paper flowers. Not the same.
Can't remember if I left a comment on your previous post or not, but I must say how much I love your prettied up sugar cubes. Might have to give that a whirl myself, not least because it would be good piping practice.
You are full of fab ideas! :o)

I've been working on the same project using a photo mat for ages. You finished yours much quicker than I have and the result is lovely!

Lovely frame. I had a few flowers just like your on a doll's dress from the 60s. Had no idea they would ever be popular or vintage but I always liked them. I think they're still in a box in my mum's attic.

What a great idea - so stinking cute and petite!
