Twig Heart Art

Misc

I put together this cute little DIY twig heart art and I will show you how you to can create yourself!

Shauna, from Satori Living, always gets my butt in gear. What do you possibly mean, you ask?

She creates these amazing DIY challenges, invites her fellow bloggers and puts me to work.

I love it.

For the next three weeks, we are put to the challenge of creating a project with one item and a different item each week.

This week it’s twigs. Make a project with twigs. Sure, sounds easy enough.

I almost called it quits but I did it!

Twig Heart Art on the wall in the kitchen.

So I gathered some twigs and I knew I wanted to make a heart.

I just wanted a large heart made of twigs to put on the wall of my daughter’s room in our not-so-rustic cabin.

Seemed simple enough. It was actually quite hard!

The twigs on the floor.

First I found the twigs that already had a curve in them.

Finding twigs with a curve in them.

Using floral wire, I twisted the two ends of the heart together.

Taking floral wire and attaching the pieces together.

The bottom of the heart was harder.

I needed to add an extra little twig to the bottom twisting the floral wire all around it.

Up close picture of the twigs wired together.

I reinforce the sides overlapping twigs and twisting floral wire.

Half the heart put together on the floor.

Then snipped off the ends that stuck out.

Snipping off the ends of the twigs.

This is the part that I couldn’t figure out and nearly called it quits.

I could not get the top to curve in properly no matter how many times I tried. I nearly emailed Shauna.

Um Shauna? Yeah, this twig challenge sucks. Sorry, I can’t do it. 

But then I figured out…

The twig heart on the floor.

I tied wire from the top to the bottom. Voila!

Attaching the art to the wall.

Up close of the wire.

I’m going to use the three different projects for the next three weeks to decorate my daughter’s room in the not-so-rustic cabin in the woods.

The heart on the wall.

Here are some hints for the upcoming projects…

Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in common! They are all painted in the same paint color - White Dove OC-17 by @benjaminmoore. 💚 White is one of the hardest colors to pick for your home. It can pick up different surrounding colors which is why you can’t just Google a paint color and paint it on your walls. 💚 For my home, Simply White has worked the best. And White Dove is very similar. Swipe to see  some of these gorgeous rooms. 💚➡️ Check my blog post for tips on the best way to pick any paint colors for your home.

Our basement is the perfect place to store seasona Our basement is the perfect place to store seasonal / holiday / decor items. I’ve had plenty of it over the years (too much!) as I’ve been blogging for 10 years! I went through all my Christmas decor this year before I packed it all away and got rid of so much! It felt so good. 💚 Next, I’ll do the same for the other holidays coming up (like Easter, I have 2 bins just for Easter!). Decluttering is easier when it’s done in stages. I’m also really into minimal seasonal decor lately so I think it will be much easier to say goodbye to the extra ‘stuff’. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you have lots of seasonal / holiday / decor items in your home? ➡️ Check out my blog posts on how to organize these items in IG stories. .

Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms o Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms of square footage not how the builder or the previous owner used it. My dining room was once a family room but with our small main floor already having a living room and a very small dining room, we thought this room would be better suited for a bigger dining room (swipe to see the before with the cabinet, the before before when we first bought it and the reno) 💚 It pays to look at your home differently especially during this pandemic. I think we’re all going to look at how we use our homes differently going forward. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you use a room for a different purpose than what it was intended for? .

I’m a sentimental purger! 😂 I feel most happy when everything has its place and I’ve kept a few meaningful things, but not too many. Just the right amount. It’s a very fine balance, isn’t it? Do you have a hard time with letting go of sentimental items? I have lots of tips of in my blog post ➡️ Check stories for the link and I’ll keep it in my organization highlight in my profile.
