How to Make Embossed Ceramic Hearts

Choose a Christmas stamp and dab onto the stamp pad, but do not press too hard.

Once happy with your design, stamp onto a ceramic heart and whilst the image is still wet, sprinkle with red embossing powder, making sure the whole design is covered. Shake off excess powder and blow gently to remove loose powder.

Place you heart down on a flat heatproof mat and use the heat tool, concentrated on your design. You will see the powder move/melt as you're doing this – once you see this happen all over, it is done. The ceramic will get hot so don't touch until it's cooled.

You may want all your hearts to match; if not, then do a different design on each one and each side. Repeat previous step on the remaining hearts

Using twine, thread through the hole in the top of the heart and secure both ends together with a knot, so you are able to hang it up on your tree.
