Suggested Uses

This compact birch heart is a staple for themed crafting, especially when personalizing wedding favors, birthday party décor, and Valentine’s Day tokens. Its sturdy surface takes paint, stain, or decoupage well—ideal for custom signage or refrigerator magnets. Educators often use these for classroom counting games or seasonal art assignments. They're also a go-to for kids’ art parties: the light wood is easy to decorate with markers, stickers, or glitter. Crafters attach them to wreaths, create mini heart garlands, or use as tags on gift bags. A standout project idea suited to this specific size is assembling layered shadow boxes, where these hearts can represent family members or milestones—compact enough to fit in limited spaces, yet large enough to stand out as meaningful accents.
