Hi, I’m Brandy with A Rustic Stitch, and a proud member of the Bowdabra Design Team. In this video tutorial, I’ll be showing you how to create a stunning DIY Rustic Heart-shaped Door Hanger with a beautiful Bowdabra bow. Let’s get started and bring a touch of rustic charm to your home decor!

Heart-shaped door hanger

Materials:

Bowdabra bow maker
Heart shape sign
Plastic wall tile
2 coordinating scrapbook papers
ModPodge
Plaster chalk paint by Waverly
Distress Ink: Antique Linen, Rusty Hinge
Kraft paper tag
Bow: 6″ strips of coordinating fabrics or ribbon with neutrals such as burlap, muslin, and cheesecloth
Greenery used: Spanish moss, rose with rose petals
Tag printable

Instructions:

First, remove any pieces off of the hear-shaped sign and then sand smooth. Next, cut out the paper for the sign and then add a layer of ModPodge all around the heart shape. Then attach your paper smoothing out any wrinkles. When dry, sand all around the edges

Next, cut out the heart plastic tile and use an Xacto to cut out a piece from the center. Then brush some chalk paint all around the tile.

Now use the corresponding printed paper to put behind the tile to show through the peek-a-boo window and glue it to the main heart-shaped sign. Now, use the distressing inks all around the sign, blending well. Seal it with a layer of ModPodge.

Make the Bow:

First, cut a piece of twine fold it in half, and lay it in the Bowdabra. Next, begin layering 6-inch pieces of various colored fabrics in the Bowdabra. Once you have layered enough, pull up on the loose twine thread it through the loop, and pull tight. Remove from the Bowdabra, turn to the back, and tie a knot.

Trim the ends of the bow if needed and fluff out. Finally, glue a small rose and leaves to the center of the bow. Add the free printable underneath the bow gluing to secure. Add the string hanger to the Heart-shaped door hanger and enjoy!
