Hearts Rock

I seem to be in a "decor" mood lately, but I have been doing some sewing here and there. This is not one of those sewing projects though. It's another art. I was very inspired by this stone heart wall art I found on One Pretty Thing and decided to make my own.

I found the rocks in one trip to the beach. I then found a unfinished wood 12x12 display box at Michael's (normally $7.99, but use your coupon!). I painted it white (2 coats of spray paint), but then decided I wanted to distress it some. Do not use spray paint if you want to distress. It was not the easiest, but I did some. I took a pizza cutter to it and sanded some spots to show the wood.

For the inside, I glued in a piece of scrapbook paper and then glued on the hearts. Super simple.

Here is a fab tutorial on distressing a small thing that I found and would use if I was to do this again.
