Let’s go!
Step 1
Mount the Forstner bit on the drill and drill a hole in the prefabricated plywood heart. Smooth the edges with fine sandpaper.
Step 2
Cut the adhesive foil in signal red generously so that it overlaps the edges of the heart.
Step 3
Peel off the backing paper of the adhesive foil and apply it to the wood using the smoothing blade.
Step 4
Now use the utility knife to cut off the excess adhesive foil around the heart.
Step 5
Now use the utility knife to remove the adhesive foil from the drilled hole.
Step 6
As a decorative finish, insert the small test tube into the opening, fill with water and decorate with freshly cut flowers.
You did it!
