I know Valentine's Day has passed, but this little project is cute all year round. I had this in mind for our Galentine's party/post, but we were too busy eating candy and celebrating our singleness to remember. Better late than never I suppose! And you don't have to use hearts, you can use all different shapes and colors of glitter. The world is your oyster.
Here is the finished project:
Here is what you will need:
 |
| I recommend using the fine or extra fine glitter for this. It will stick better and not come off in your book. The Mod Podge is for the smaller hearts and touch ups. I used glue on all the other hearts. |
and..
 |
| I used the pencil to draw out the hearts and this little tiny paint brush to apply the Mod Podge. |
AND paper for bookmarks. Hobby Lobby has them already packaged in the aisle with the tiny paper products and paper mache letters (I think).
 |
| And here we have Step 1: Get your blank bookmark and lightly draw the hearts on. |
 |
Step 2: Dab a little dot of glue in the center of a heart. Twist it closed and use the tip of the glue lid to spread it around. Apply the glitter and shake off the excess. Keep doing this to all the hearts and use the paint brush to apply Mod Podge to areas that need fixing and to smaller hearts. As you can see this will make a HUGE mess if you aren't careful so make sure to lay down some newspaper or something to catch all the glitter so you can pour it back in the jar.

By the way, I am reading Yes Please by Amy Poehler. She is even more incredible than I thought. She is just freaking cool. I love reading this at night so I can laugh and chill out after a stressful day. Or any time of day for that matter.
If you can't make time for Amy, who can you make time for? |
 |
| Oh thank you, Amy! By all means, show off that adorable bookmark! |
