Ingredients
Main Materials
- 1 piece Fuzzy heart (store-bought or handmade)
- 1 bottle Clear glue or Mod Podge For adhering the Epsom salt or glitter
- 1 cup Epsom salt or fine glitter For the sparkling effect
- 1 drop Food coloring (optional) For tinting the glue

Instructions
Preparation
- Lay down newspaper or a drop cloth to protect your surfaces.
- Gather all materials within easy reach.
Crafting Steps
- In a small bowl, pour a generous amount of clear glue or Mod Podge. If desired, mix in a drop of food coloring for a pastel hue.
- Using a paintbrush, cover the fuzzy heart entirely with a thin layer of glue. Ensure even coverage to prevent patchiness.
- While the glue is still wet, sprinkle Epsom salt or glitter generously over the heart. Gently press down to help it adhere, creating a magical, shimmering effect.
- Place the decorated heart on a sheet of wax paper, allowing it to dry for a few hours or overnight in a safe, undisturbed area.
