More Charms - Valentine

The current charm swap on Kim's PDA group is 'Valentine Heart Shape'.

I bought some chunky wooden hearts which measure an inch and a half across - inked them, stuck on some old book text, then distressed them quite heavily with an emery board. 

On the back of them there is just one line of text.  I attached some metal charms to finish them off. 

Now I just need to negotiate the snow on the ground and try to make it to the Post Office in one piece!

Christmas Hearts

These wooden hearts which could be Christmas decorations are made from solid birch and measure 7cm long.  I got them from an on line shop called craftshapes.co.uk   I was actually looking for some small wooden hearts to make into charms for a valentine charm swap I've signed up for on PDA when I saw these hearts which were described as 'Christmas Hearts Wooden Gift Tags'.  I couldn't resist them!

I had them for about 3 weeks before I could bring myself to do anything with them as I loved the natural wood and jute hanger as it was.  Eventually though I painted, rubber stamped, embossed and decorated them with little bits and pieces and I think they'll look quite pretty hanging from a Christmas tree.
