thank you, Emma.. I love this idea and will make one.. I planted trees on each of my 3 kid's 1st birthdays and will use twigs from those special trees .. I appreciate that you shared your idea and video

[@handy_emma]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Our kids are so special to us. I absolutely loved that you planted trees for each of your kids, what a wonderful parent you are. Sending lots of love your way.

I have just cut out my cardboard heart and my twigs are ready , I shall be giving this to some dear friends of mine xx

[@handy_emma]

That sounds lovely Christine. You could also PVA glue it after you've finished as this will make it stronger as your are giving it to a friend. Mine has been up over 2 years and nothing has fallen off. I start my new craft tomorrow, I will be thinking of you 😘

[@patiwojcik2753]

[@handy_emma]

Thank you. You're kind.

Beautiful! Did you clean sticks before you made your heart?

[@handy_emma]

Hi LeeLee Swi, i give all my sticks a good bath first just to make them nice and clean ( I use antibacterial soap). Then I keep them in my shed to make sure they are all dried out. If you want to seal them after there are lots of different methods, if it's for a project out doors I don't use anything. If it's for a project inside there's many different ways to seal them. For this project you can make your project first then PVA the entire thing. I have used Rust-oleum crystal clear protective coat Matt finish in the past. I also know people who don't seal there sticks at all. I hope this has answered your question. I would love to know if you make a heart yourself. Get the family involved picking up sticks when going out for a walk. I love looking at mine every day. (Special memories)

[@leelee1334]

@@handy_emma Perfect, thanks Emma! Yes me & my wee girl going out collecting sticks each night, it will be our Lockdown twig heart🙂 x

[@jocarey6295]

Did you treat them/seal the twigs?

[@handy_emma]

Hi jo, I kept my sticks in my shed for a few months, just to dry out completely first. After making the heart I gave it a few coat's of PVA glue. But I have used Rust-oleum crystal clear protective coat Matt finish, in other projects. Which seals, protects and enhances

[@jocarey6295]

Handy Emma thank you

[@hannahroberts225]

What glu do you need to use as I used normal super glu and it would not stick together.

[@handy_emma]

Hi Hannah I used a glue gun and lots of glue sticks hope this helps you. Hope you have a great day

[@ekennahutchinson1636]
