easy valentine's wreath

Just a little more than a month until Valentine's Day, so here's our first Valentine for you. This easy heart wreath is a fun project you can do with your kids (and a good way to use up your fabric scraps!).

Scrappy Heart Wreath Tutorial



What you'll need:

*Scraps of fabric cut into 2 inch squares (these can be all the same fabric or a combination of different fabrics)

*Elmers glue or Tacky Glue

*Styrofoam Heart

*Pencil

*Ribbon (enough to hang your wreath where you want it)


Okay, let's get started!

1. Fill a shallow paper bowl with glue.

2. Place fabric square on pencil tip with right-side facing the pencil. Be sure the pencil tip is in the center.


3. Dip the fabric covered pencil tip into the glue. You don’t need too much. Just a little on the end.


4. Press the pencil tip into the Styrofoam.


5. Remove the pencil--your fabric should stay in place.


6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 until your heart is completely covered.


It should look nice and full like this.


7. Add a ribbon and hang up. We tied a small loop around the finished wreath with string, then threaded the ribbon through that.



Isn't it sweet?
