Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure

Watercolor hearts message board

Making your message boards cute as well as functional makes a home pretty and organized at the same time.

Spectrum Noir makes these great pre-cut heart stacks with pretty images on them in gold and silver ready to color with AquaBlend water color pencils and water brush pens for blending.

I colored a whole bunch along with a big heart I stamped, embossed and colored using the Aqua Stamp set floral heart stamp and silver embossing powder.

After I had all the elements ready I glued each heart on a mini clothes pin.

I made a big bow with some wired ribbon and popped it on top of the frame with the string stretched from side to side and up and down.

It is easy to clip little notes onto the board to remind you to keep crafting!
