I pushed out all the hearts before painting the sections on one side then covered the other side with double sided pretty paper. The base and the top rim were painted then all the pieces glued in place. I had some lovely plaited string in my stash which I glued around the top and bottom and then added a border. The border was stamped onto the same paper and cut out. I took 2 of the hearts and painted one side and added paper to the other before attaching them with more plaited string.
Here is the inside.....
See, it does go together a bit like a beer barrel haha!!!! I have to say that I am pleased with this and it will look pretty on my craft table.

Wow, Karen, this is gorgeous. I like that you plan to use it in your craft space, too. Beautiful AND functional.
BTW, I'm having trouble leaving messages to you. Seems blogger times out before the message is sent. Frustrating. Hope you get this.
YAA!! Looks like it took.
Wow this is gorgeous Karen!!!! Also the paper inside is very beautiful.. And the little heart added at the outside hooked to this beautiful string is a fantastic idea! :) Coco xxx
You're not putting filthy dirty paint tubes in there!!! That's a crime! Don't you dare! I'm getting the crafty coppers down to your place - it's way too nice for that by a long stretch ;-)
