Whether you enjoy Valentine’s Day or not, this little project will surely make you smile. It’s a great brightening piece for your home, or for a gift for anyone you care about. Yes, you may have seen this type of art before—but there’s a twist! You don’t need to head out to the hardware store for a hammer and nails! Instead I used brass fasteners. (It also came in a gold finish so it saved me some extra bucks from having to buy spray paint!)

There are plenty of options you can create with this project. I decided to go with a heart, well because they automatically make everything cuter.
