> How to make a Health Bar corkboard for cheap

+ Square-edged paint brush
* Ruler

B& by taking one sheet of

corkboard and creating a grid

of 2.5 centimetre squares all over
it using the permanent marker
and the ruler. If you have excess

corkboard, just cut it off with the

box cutter. The important thing
is that they all have to be even.

Next, reference the pixelated

heart to determine the shape,
and which lines on the grid

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

* Thin, black
permanent marker
* Scissors
* Acrylic paint (black & red)

to follow. Trace out the heart,
marking the points on the
grid before cutting it out.

Repeat this three more
times so that you have four
corkboard heart shapes.

To paint them, paint every
square that is on the edge black,
and all the rest red. If you want
to get creative, you can create
a less than full or an empty
health bar by replacing half of
or all of the red area with gray.

When you've finished
painting all four hearts, leave

them to dry overnight.

The next day, spray your
hearts down with a matte clear-
coat to prevent the paint from
chipping. The clear-coat should
dry very quickly, but leave it
alone for an hour just to be safe.

Once youre sure that
the clear-coat is dry, hang
the hearts on your wall with
puncture-less hooks, tape, or
nails. Connecting them ina
line at their widest points to
create the health bar effect.
