Love Heart Frame Stencil Project

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prep Your Base
Gather a heart-shaped beaded frame and cut watercolor paper to fit inside. Make sure the paper is clean, dry, and sized to sit neatly within the frame.

Step 2: Stencil the Word “Love”
From the Valentine Scripture & Love Sayings Set, tape down the “Love Never Fails” stencil and apply red paint using a sponge or stencil brush. Only stencil the word “Love”. Offload excess paint first and use a light tapping motion.

Allow the paint to dry completely before moving on.

Step 3: Add the Rose
Position the rose stencil from the January 2026 Stencil of the Month – Basic Set beside the word Love. Mix red and white paint to create a soft pink tone and stencil the petals.

Step 4: Fill in the Greenery
Using green paint, lightly stencil the stem and leaves. Keep the pressure soft, especially where the greenery overlaps the lettering.

Let everything dry fully.

Step 5: Attach to the Frame
Apply glue or adhesive to the back of the watercolor paper and carefully secure it inside the heart-shaped frame.

This sweet heart frame is perfect for Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, or handmade gifting. Pair sentiment stencils with florals to create something truly personal.
