Happy Monday!! I’m really excited to share some fun Valentine’s projects with you this week! I’ve kind of tried to stay away from wreathes recently because to be honest…I have a TON! A woman can only have so many wreaths…right? BUT I couldn’t resist when an idea came to me this weekend that was so simple and fun!
This wreath started out a little differently. I wanted to use some really pretty sparkly paper in three shades of pink with glitter all over it…but I tried to use both a heart hole punch and my Silhouette to cut out hearts and the paper was just too thick and I wasn’t about to cut out 50+ paper hearts by hand. So take two began….I still like it, but I’d love to have different colors and sparkle on it next time.
What You Need:
*Willow Wreath
*Scrapbook paper (be careful of the thickness you choose to avoid my issue)
*Punched hearts (you can buy scrapbooking heart punches or use a cutting machine like the Silhouette or Cricut)
*Hot Glue
*Ribbon
I started by getting all of my hearts prepared on my Silhouette. If I hadn’t already been to JoAnn’s twice today, I would have gotten some other paper with different colors on it, but since I couldn’t go back I went with mono-chromatic pink on the whole wreath.
When my hearts were ready, I simply glued them with hot glue all over my wreath. Then I used some pink ribbon I had on hand to tie it at the top with.
SO EASY and I love the end result…whimsical and fun…and I love it against my Wythe Blue front door {haha}.
I have another fun Valentine’s idea coming up this week! Hope your week starts out great!
