This simple Valentine's Day heart frame computer monitor accessory will transform your loved one's computer monitor into a unique and fun Valentine's Day decoration in your home or their office! Be sure to personalize the computer monitor frame for your sweetie.

If you want to surprise your loved one at work, then take it in a day before and get a little help from your better half's co workers!

To make this Simple Valentine's Day heart computer Monitor Frame You Will Need:

Tape measure

Red or Pink Foam core board

Velcro (self sticking kind)

Exacto knife

Hole punch (optional)

Scissors
Fun Foam or Foam Core Board

Paint pens or Markers

The first step is to measure your computer monitor. You need to be pretty exact, so this fun accessory will fit your Computer monitor.

Measure the inside frame of the monitor, where is touches the screen. Now, measure the outside edges of the Computer monitor.

Now, this will be the dimension for your Valentine's Day heart frame. The heart frame will stick out slightly further than your monitor, but you do not want it to cover any of your computer screen.

Now, take your sheet of red or pink foam core board and measure out the inside square of your computer monitor. I like to draw this on with a red or pink marker. Just make this square the same size that you measured your computer screen to be.

Tip: plywood can be substituted for the foam core board if you like to work with wood.

Now, you need to draw your Valentine's Day heart outline on the outside of this square. To do this correctly, I like to use some thin masking tape to mark off the outside square of my computer monitor. This will ensure that my tree covers the outside of the entire computer monitor.

Now, use your red or pink marker to draw out your Valentine's Day heart.

Now, to cut out this fun Valentine's Day heart computer monitor accessory break out that exacto knife. Cut out the outer lines you drew. Remove the masking tape. Now, cut out your inner square that your drew.

Go ahead and hold it up to your computer monitor to make sure it fits.

Now, apply your double-sided Velcro to the back of the foam core board. Pell off the stick back and stick it in place. Now, peel off the other sticky back and place it on the computer monitor.

Now, you need to embellish and decorate your Valentine's Day heart. Fun foam and other foam core board are perfect for this. Just cut your ornament shapes and the tree topper out and glue them on with hot glue.
