Instructions
  1. Fill bowls with hot water. Add your dye then stir.
  2.  Add your wooden hearts one at a time, submerging fully before adding other hearts. It’s best to not crowd the bowl or add them all at the same time, otherwise you run the risk of your dye not taking evenly.

  3.  Let hearts sit for about 5-10 minutes or until it’s your desired color. You don’t want to let them sit for too long in the water, otherwise you run the risk of them warping
  4. Rinse in cold water and let dry overnight on a cloth towel
  5. Once dry, add your stickers for your candy heart sayings.
  6. Hot glue ribbon on the back, display, and enjoy!
