I started with 10 wood shims. I left two the size they were, cut 4 about 1/2" smaller and the other 4 an inch smaller than they were. I cut them on the saw, but it is the thin end of the shim that is cut,so you probably could even use some scissors.
I added some paint to them, sanded them a bit, and then laid them out on a scrap board (this one is 16 x 11 1/2, but something a little bigger would probably be a little better). I did mark the middle of the board with white chalk to better place the heart.
Cute idea! Thanks for sharing.

Deleteabeck, I generally use and interior latex, but the red is Fusion Mineral paint. Sometimes I use craft paints on projects like these.
DeleteHi Becky, I love this and many of your other projects which I've seen over the years as they were featured on various blogs. I'm making sure to follow along so I know them when I first see them now! Thank you for co-hosting the talk of the town in its new format.
