Valentine Heart Candy Plate Chargers

These easy Valentine Candy plate chargers are a great project for anyone who loves to decorate for Valentine's Day. You can create a whimsical, romantic, and fun table setting for the entire family or spouse to enjoy.

You can make these Valentine Candy plate chargers in less than an hour. You should expect to pay about $4 per charger.

To Make These Valentine Candy Plate Charger You Will need:

Foam Core board

Valentine's Candy (the hearts with the words on them, like "Be Sweet")

Spray Paint (optional)

Hot Glue or Tacky Glue

Clear acrylic spray paint

So the first step is to cut out your Valentine Candy charger shapes. You could cut out a large heart to mimic the shape of you Valentine Candy. I also like to grab one of my dinner plates or vintage china and trace it. Be sure to add on about three inches to the circle though so you can see the charger sitting under you plate.

Now, you can cut foam core board with scissors or an exacto knife.

Your foam core board will show beneath of your Valentine Candy, so color is something to keep in mind.

You can't decoupage foam core board because it will curl up and warp as the decoupage glue dries.

Now, start in the middle.

If you want to use glue: Squeeze out a glob of hot glue on the middle of your charger. Press on Valentine Candy into the glue. Now, use this as your guide. I like to work across the circle or heart foam core board in straight lines. You could also start by outlining the outer edge and working your way in.

You could also work in perfect circles over and over until you reach the edge of the charger.

You could also create lines of Valentine Candy color running across the charger.

Now, color is just as important as the design. You can use one color and have Valentine Candy in the whole charger be solid pink or purple. I find those great little hearts in mostly pastel colors with words written on them in red. That would be a great romantic look.

For a fun whimsical look try using every color Valentine Candy possible.

Now, you need to less these Valentine Candy chargers dry overnight before you use them.
