How to make a large Original Heart Pin

How to make a original Large Heart Pin

If you have been following jewelry the new trend is for large pieces.

I wanted to do something original and wondering what I was going to do 

that could fill that order. I managed to come up with this pin.

Never saw one like it. Will make a few more for friends. 

Tools

Proxxon Mini Scroll Saw 

Proxxon OZI/E Detail Mini Sander 

Supplies

Small piece of thin wood

Jewelry Wire

Jewelry  Pin fastener

Bead or choice of decorations for wire.

Textured Paint 

Glitter  (optional)

Plaid Folk Art Paint Cardinal red # 414

I started by cutting out the hearts. 

Using the Proxxon Mini Scroll Saw made the cutting of the tiny hearts a snap.  

After cutting out the three hearts, I used the Proxxon OZI/E  detail Sander to smooth out the sides, front, and back of the hearts. 

Next I painted the hearts with Plaid Cardinal Red #414.

Next I drilled very small hole in the first small heart, dabbed a tiny bit of glue on the wire and inserted it into the hole.  Added two stars then added the second little heart.

Glued the entire piece with Gorilla wood glue

And also glued the fastener to the back.

Added some textured paint and made dots around the hearts. A little bit of iridescent glitter and the project is now completed.

I saw so many possibilities for this item. Secure a chain for a neckless,

Decorate a Valentine Gift box, Or just include it in a card.

Add lettering and let your imagination go wild.

As Always my sincere thanks to all who make this blog possible.
