A heart with lace is made of two pieces of fabric and a long piece of lace. I got inspired by french decorations. The buttons are only for decorations.

This one was ordered in white, black, grey and brown instead of the blue and yellow.
A wood item is painted twice with a brown color, later one layer of white paint. Let it dry again and than scrub some of the white paint off so the item get an old, used look. Finally I used decoupage from a napkin to get some colour on the item.
