We had a lot of fun this week finding ways to decorate a simple STYROFOAM™ Heart. With 3 different techniques, we covered them in something we hope you’ll love! So take a look at our DIY Dish Craft Countdown this week — and we took away the 2-minute clock this episode!
Here are more photos of the project! We’d love to know which are your top 2 favorites! We’re going to post each of these techniques on our Facebook page and we’d love for you to vote for your favorite by either “liking” it on Facebook or making a comment here or on the photos you’ll find on Facebook.

#3 for me!!! Actually it will be for my daughter and her new house. Hope I can find the just right sequins and the zebra background paper and frame. She will Love it for sure if I do.
I love all of them but those red roses have got to be my pick!
Mary
Do we really need to choose? I love them all 3 but with the paper roses my daughter can help. She loves crafting with her mom.
Love the satin one and the sequined one the best. EVERY time I hear someone mention paper roses I sint “the” song too lol
sing duh
Happy Valentine’s Day, I love the projects.
I heart all of those valentines!
Love the Zots!
You girls simply amaze me…another fantastic craft! All three of these hearts are soooo beautiful I am going to make them all and put them together because of the different textures. However, if I have to vote for one I would vote for the paper roses because of the vintage look and the recycling feature (using old books). They are all, however equally beautiful – that’s why I’ll be making all three!
Loved all 3, but my favorite was the satin roses. I haven’t seen that technique before. Can’t wait to try it.

I like number two the best – the paper roses.
Thats hard to admit, coming from a fabricaholic.
I think the paper roses were the best…you could even use an old book of love poems to further the theme. I also will be on the lookout for old prom or bridesmaid dresses for some satin, those flowers were lovely! Thx!
oh my!………..i have to agree that all 3 heart projects are great! i love them all for their different styles, but if i have to pick just one it would be the satin roses……so elegant and beautiful. the paper roses are a great project for a girl scout troop!!
so cute, Marie would be proud especially since you could be her sisters!
Love these ideas!
Oh my, all 3 projects are fabulous, I luv the satin roses, I saw similar at a posh store for $225.00.
Have a fabulous week,

My fav is the paper roses. So simple to make and so cute.
So cute!! You always make it look so easy!!! LOVE IT!

I love the satin roses best – such a pretty project! Ya’ll are the greatest!
Loved all the heart, but i think i would have to pick the satin for i think it is something i could do, but i like the sequin for it is something my girls could do. I think i will let the girls make one for there teachers, both school and sunday school. Thanks so much for the ideas. You guys are great.
All 3 are simply darling and creative. What an elegant look with the satin roses! And the paper roses have that vintage look that we all love. Love the idea of one viewer to use love poems for that extra special touch. You’ve done it again with inspiration for all of us! Thanks
I think it will have to be the red satin roses for me! Great idea!
Love the ideas ~ Love the paper roses the best ~ Love your blog ~ Love all the other ideas from your blog friends!! Thanks for all the Valentines Day LOVE! XOXO
Just thinking… Wouldn’t it be fun for you do get Marie to do a guest appearance on one of your tutorials? Especially since you all have so much in common… Beautiful resemblance, Utah, and CRAFTS! (she loves them too!)
I just love the satin roses. My daughter made some with a friend to put on hair clips and ever since I have wanted to try them somewhere else. This is a great idea!
I like really like the paper roses but also like the satin ones too.
Love all 3 but the satin roses are my favorite.
Those red satin roses have got to be my favorite. How Beautiful. I have some red satin in my fabric stash…can’t wait to try this!
Loved the satin roses, those would be great on head bands or barrettes too!
It is hard to choose between the satin and the paper roses, but the satin are my favorite. I think I will actually be making both, but using smaller hearts if I can find them. I was just assigned table decorations last night at our women’s group meeting for a Valentine brunch we will be hosting at church. I think I will take two small ones and place them back to back so they will stand-up and use them as centerpieces. I have to make 12 so I may be doing some searching for more ideas. I don’t think I want to do them all the same, so I’ll be searching through the archives to see what other ideas you two have had!!
Wow…Ok gotta love the sparkle in the sequins!!! I think that is my favorite…however I do love the look of those Satin Roses!!
I like them all, & another idea for these styrofaom hearts is: cut metalic tissue paper into skinny strips & fold them in loops & glue to cover your heart with this. I do skinny strips because I like the look but you can do wider strips or a bit of both. You can do this @ any holiday just use differrent colors, green for St Patty’s Day Pastels for Easter you get the idea. Please enter me in the draw & thank you

I love the paper heart and sequin heart. I’m thinking about having a small group of 11-13 year old girls make the sequin heart.
The satin one is just elegant. Thanks for the easy to follow instructions
I tried to sneak a peak @ the “new pattern” & I can’t seam to find it? Any tips on this?
I am still waiting for someone to sing.
Love ya gals! Another great webisode. I think I’ll try the paper roses and step outside my box of fabric.
This is the best tutorial yet! I’m glad you actually demostrated how to curl the satin pedals with the candle. I liked the idea of the paper roses and will be teaching this one to my grandson, so he can make his mom a knock out handmade valentine. Thanks!
Fantastic! Love the satin roses! The paper roses, oh wow! I think my grandkids could do those. I will have to try it the next craft time we have together.
love the satin heart and paper heart!! so cute and easy. how long does it take to burn all the satin circles???
Loved all three hearts and the clever way to make them. My favorite is the satin roses, as they seem more romantic.
The paper roses are so cute and the tint adds depth. I would only do the satin circles in a well ventilated room wearing a ventilator mask or at an outdoor worktable. Remember folks the fumes are toxic! but the look is adorable and rich.
Love the vintage look of the paper roses! And it’s something everyone can make easily with any paper they have. Good Job!
I have to say I love all three, I think if I was to make one today I would make the satin roses, but if I had all the time and supplies I would do all three.
do you have any idea how to do the rolled rose on a shirt? it is like you use a ribbon and sew in the middle so that it stands up. i have tried and tried to figure this out and can’t, sure would like some help.
thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Kim & Kris -
Love all of these hearts! But I think my favorite is the little pink one covered in sequins, love the sparkle. Speaking of sparkle, another thing to do with these styrofoam hearts is to cover them in craft clue and then cover with glitter. And to cover up missed spots, color your glue the color of your sequins, you can use food coloring or small drop of ink.

I love Valentine’s Day!! I have many hearts already, but could always use MORE!! Coffee filters make a very ruffley heart. And super inexpensive. You use a lot, (300) or more, but still costs about $3. Maybe you already have wreaths made out of these, just another idea. Your heart would be white, but you could hang it with whatever satin ribbon matched the rest of your valentine decor:) My favorite heart was the satin roses. But they were all three cute!!
Loved the red satin heart!!
Can’t wait to try the paper & satin ones. Will wait to make the sequin one with my granddaughter! We will use thimbles on our “pushing finger” though, because pushing in that many sequins can be hard on you. Speaking from experience:)!
I loved the satin roses & the paper roses the best (how creative!). But I will probably make the sequined one with my granddaughter on our next “craft day.” We’ve already made the flowers that you shape with the flame and had so much fun! Thanks for all your inspiration!
Loved this episode!!!!
you’ve to tell me……are the two of you related to marie osmond? the resemblance is unbelievable! is she a cousin?…..or your triplet?!
My vote is for #1 Silk Rose heart wreath. Love the smoldered edges!
I can’t pick one. I love love them all. So pretty and cleaver!
I really like this craft. I think the paper roses are my favorite. I like the hint of pink on them.
I love all three projects – but my favorite is the sequin one – how lovely is that!!! Thank you for all your project ideas
I love all 3 ideas. If I have to pick a fav it would be the paper roses
Great as always…the paper and satin roses are my favorites!
Many blessings!
You guys are great! I love all the ideas, but I think the satin roses are the best with the paper roses coming in at #2. Thanks for being there!
Again a great job
Love the sequin heart the best… perhaps because I have two young girls. Can’t wait to try this project. Awesome idea for a great tut!!! Thanks so much!
I wonder if newspaper would work for the paper rose project so you wouldn’t have to cut up a book? I’ll have to experiment
Satan technique for sure. (it’s so funny that someone has asked the Osmond question again. You should do a movie and play the part of Marie!)
I love the paper heart. It looked like a such a fun and cleaver project. I’m going to give it a try.
What cute projects! I like the paper roses!
I love all 3 ideas for the hearts but I especially like the satin heart. Thanks for sharing all of your ideas.
Ohh-I like the satin roses best, but all are great. Think I will try the paper roses when I find the big glue dots. Dj in MO
Thanks for the heartwarming idears!
Loved the paper heart…but as I am craft copier only…I need more exact sizes. Your paper heart on the video looks much smaller that the ones on the wreath. What size circles did you cut for the wreath? Are they all the same size, are they stacked?
All three projects are fantastic!! Thanks for another wonderful show!!
Very neat! I am partial to the paper ones.
Those roses are beautiful! I love anything that allows me to recycle and DIY at the same time. I’m definately going to use these all around the house and on gifts. Thanks so much for another great show!
You guys are great. You have given me lots of ideas. I have been watching all your videos and loved the one on pin cushions. I have been making a lot to give as gifts. I’m going to put some pictures of them on my blog. Keep up the good work. And thanks for all the ideas.
I love all these ideas. I recently covered a styrofoam heart with red yarn and added felt flower embellishments. It looks really good. Where do we get the downloadable instructions for these projects? I can’t seem to find the download button.
The red satin is my favorite! Thanks for showing us how.
Red satin is my favorite.
Hi Kris and Kim!
I love your ideas, but can only watch the older episodes….
the new episodes (youtube movies) is stopping all the time and is anoying ..
I really hope you guys could maybe download your new episodes into another moviefile? ..
Like a map or something that us who cant watch your new episodes?
I wish you good luck and the best for valentines day!
Hugs, Haldis from Norway
I have trouble with the streaming of the videos, also. But, what I do is let it load, walk away and then come back in a little bit, click play and the video plays smoothly without any stops. Then, life is good, and I get to watch my crafty gals.

Hooray Marilyn! We’re so glad you’re able to watch! Thanks for keeping us posted on that.
I loved the satin roses first and then the paper ones. I’m going to try them both. I already have a frame ready to paint. It was only $2 at a sidewalk sale last summer.
I’m all for the paper roses! *surprise* I’ll probably be taking that one on.
I can’t believe I hadn’t subscribed to your YT channel before. Yes… I’m slow.
Love your videos—you two are naturals!
Great projects, thanks for sharing again : ) My favourites were the satin roses and the paper roses. They both look great.

I think I like the one cut from the book page. A nice new idea for me to work with. This is the one that I will most likely do of the 3. Looked interesting to make.
