White acrylic craft paint and a brush
Instructions
Lay out paper on your work surface and use the white acrylic craft paint to paint the wooden heart white. Let it dry and then turn it over and paint the other side. Be sure to paint the edges of the wooden heart as well.
Lay out the jewelry on the wooden heart in an arrangement that works well. Do this before you start gluing so that you can move things around until they are in an arrangement that you like.
Take a reference photo and then take the jewelry and items off the heart.

Use glue along the edge of the heart. Lay the gold trim all along the edge and clip it so that it doesn’t overlap, but fully covers the edge of the heart.
Turn the heart over and glue the latch pin onto the back of the heart.
