Enjoy Valentines Day with this fun project that will let your child "hammer home" just how much a dear friend or family member with this made with love gift.
**Materials**
*Small piece of wood
*Acrylic paint and brushes
*Sandpaper, optional
*Eight cut nails
*Hammer
*Flexible wire (such as lead free solder wire)
*Ball chain
*Pencil
*Old magazines or newpaper
*Glue
**Instructions**
Brush paint on front and sides of wood and let it dry thoroughly. If desired, sand the painted surface to create an antique look.
Draw a heart shape on the wood using a pencil. Then, hammer the nails halfway into the wood, spacing them evenly along the heart outline.
Wrap and twist lengths of wire and ball chain around the nails. You can also embellish the design with a wire arrow.
For a finishing touch, add a Valentine's message using letters cut from the magazines or newspaper.
**Good idea for a handy kind of Dad. He can hang it over his work bench! Don't forget to date it and put his hammer back.**
