For the Love of Wreaths

It's Sunday, it's snowing, and it's almost February. This obviously means today is the perfect day to make a Valentine's Day wreath. Who's with me? High five!



Supplies:
Wire hanger
Pliers
Cardstock
Hot glue gun
Hot glue sticks
Twine or ribbon






This wreath is super cute and super simple to make. First, you need to find one of those old, wire hangers that you have hanging around your house (pun intended.) Then, you need to get your Mommie Dearest impression out of the way.



Once you get that out of your system, it is time to make the wreath. Grab your pliers, unwind the hanger, and shape it into a heart.


Gather cardstock in the colors of your choosing, and use your Cricut to cut a boatload of hearts. A boatload equals about 50, all different shapes and sizes. If you don't have a Cricut, then you need to get one. However, you can easily trace and cut out your own hearts, or buy a package of pre-cut hearts from the craft store.

Warm up your glue gun. Start gluing your hearts onto your wire wreath form in a nice pattern. I alternated colors and shapes. I also layered some hearts here and there for more of a dimensional style. Loop some twine or ribbon through the hanger from the back of the wreath.






Hang it on your door, and enjoy!

See? Super cute. Super simple.

Until next time ;)
