Valentine DYI- my take on buffalo check heart

Hi friends welcome to another DYI!

I had a plain wooden heart I picked up in my January thrift haul  for $ .50

I painted the entire heart using white acrylic paint.  Then using 1" making tape I laid out the tape 1" apart, next I painted the heart gray, just mixing white and black acrylic paint together.

Letting the piece dry after painting the white and gray, I applied black acrylic paint for the final step.

Here is the unveiling, I reused the masking tape so in this picture it looks like I really got mixed up with the stripe, but there is still more tape to pull off.

This is my attempt to paint a "Buffalo Check" pattern, I did have to touch up a little, I suggest using new masking tape with each color

Here is the finished project, I added a red felt heart and topped with a small red felt heart glued on a large burlap heart glued on a larger red felt heart heart left over from a I made last year.  I place the heart on my mantel leaning against a silver color charger I thrifted.  I think this project turned out great.
