Valentine s secret keeping walnut

Valentine s secret keeping walnut
Hi everybody

Although I am a steampunker, I am also a romantic husband and father of a young daughter. And that is why I want to present you this instructable as my valentine´s gift to you.

Some walnuts left from our Chritmas party, brought me to the idea to create this  mystic valentine´s necklace  keeping a lovely secret in. It is very easy to do, so you probably  make more than one of these secrets keeping walnuts e.g. maybe  as a gift to the young ladies joining your litle daughter´s next birthday party or so......

You need just a few tools and some wood glue.

So let us start wit this project and see what sort of secret is kept in :-))))

Junophor - I was just kidding about the glowing heart, but you never cease to amaze with your ability to get things to light up where you wouldn't think they could! I think you should get a commission from all sales by the guy in Greece with the walnut farm;-)
