A Heart(y) Gift for all Occasions

Here is my last contribution (for this year anyway) to Valentine's Day Gifts made from salt dough.

This heart was made in the same way as the heart box. I originally intended to use it for the box, but it was too big and this morning I had the idea to make a small flower arrangement and use the heart as a table decoration.

I used a small piece of oasis and wrapped it in foil to prevent the water from damaging the dough heart. Use a cocktail stick or needle to make holes for the flowers and leaves. Read more...

The dove/bird is part of my collection of doves.
Just as with the salt dough roses, they are so easy to make and good to use up the last piece of salt dough that is too small for anything else.
With a few of them in your scrap drawer, you will always have something to use as decoration for small gift boxes.

Here is a photo of the heart templates made from cardboard and foil.
