Step 2

Using a knife or a heart cookie cutter, cut from the centre of the hand shape.

Step 4

Leave to air dry flat until it has changed colour to a lighter shade of grey/white.

Once completely dry paint with your chosen colour of craft paint.

Optional – After the final coat of paint has dried apply a coat of gloss varnish.

Step 5

Finally choose a picture and glue to the back of your frame.
