Valentines Day Target (tutorial)

 

In my quest to have Valentines decor that is a little different this year, I decided to make a target, complete with Cupid's arrow. Admittedly, I am a bit obsessed with arrows this season, and this is another great way to tie the arrow theme in.

This project cost under $9!!!

(for what I had to buy.)

You will need:

Laminated pine round - 1" x 17 3/4" from Home Depot $6.98

5/16" x x48" dowel from Home Depot $.86

Wrapping paper - I got mine at Target in the dollar section for $1

Scrapbook paper - I already had mine on hand.

Craft paint - black and cream

Mod Podge

Hot Glue

Random sized plates and bowls

 

Instructions:

1) Lay out your supplies.

2) Trace a circle onto your wrapping paper, the size of the wood.

3) Cut out the circle. I cut mine a little smaller, because the wood was bigger than the wrapping paper.

4) Lay a plate that is 1" to 2" smaller  over the wrapping paper, trace a circle, and cut it out. This will make a large hollow circle. I did this, because I wanted the paint to show through.

5) Cut your next piece of paper using a bowl that seems to be the right size.

6) Cut two more small circles, using more round objects.

7) Paint the side of your wood black, and the top of the wood cream with craft paint.

8) After the paint dries, mod podge the circles into place.

9) Make your arrow out of the dowel, by painting it however you want, and gluing feathers on the end. I cut the point at an angle, but it is not necessary, because you can cover the point with a heart. 

10) Hot glue the arrow to the center of your target, and you are finished!

I hope you enjoyed this fun, inexpensive and easy Valentines Day craft!
