It's not too late to put up your Valentine's Day decorations! I wanted to post this heart wreath for any of you who are into the whole last minute decorating thing... Right now is a great time to get your crafting done as so many stores are already clearancing their vday items. I was surprised...things are cheap and are picked over. I usually wait until the day after the holiday to get screaming deals but I would not be surprised if it was all gone by then.
This wreath is pretty simple. It is put together a lot like the kissing balls which you can find directions here. The only thing different is that I covered the styrofoam heart with tissue paper so it looked nicer. You could even spray paint it for a quick and easy fix. Or you could just find one on clearance at the craft store! lol! I just have trouble buying things when I know I can make it myself...but then I have piles of "to-do" projects that never get done... Well, I do like to be able to brag to all my friends that I made it...so that in itself is worth the extra work, right? ;)Do you have any last minute Valentine's Day preparation to do? I still have a heart shaped ice cream cake to make the Brentster...coming soon!
Oh, your wreath is too cute! :) I'm surprised that Valentine's Day stuff is on sale already, too.
ReplyDeleteYour wreath is beautiful. And how lucky are you? The pins you won are fantastic. I'm heading over there now to take a look.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.

So very cute - I still have to print out some pictures to frame, and make heart shaped cinnamon rolls.
ReplyDeleteso adorable! i've admired these at joann's for awhile, but it would be so much more fun to make one myself. thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh that is easy, thanks! I'll be linking.
ReplyDeleteGosh, you know what I still have to do for V-Day? Make some heart shaped dog biscuits. Our big dog (well, he's just a bit bigger and older but we call him the big dog) turns 2. He's a Valentine's baby and I really wanted to make him some doggie cookies. I have a mini-bone shape and mini-hearts I wanted to do. Plus! I need to make human cookies! Darn hubby came home sick from work today...ok, not darn hubby...but he foiled my plans. The plan was to get some butter and bake bake bake. Alas, not so. Maybe tonight though.
ReplyDeleteI should really make a wreath for next year. You would die, I have no V-day decorations at all. We'll see!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty wreath! I love the flowers. It's perfect!

Love the wreath! I bought silk flowers to make one but haven't been into the city to buy a heart-shaped form yet. Hope I can find one tomorrow......I really like how you wrapped it in tissue paper first, I would have never thought to have done that!

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you got the job! Best of luck with it! I always really liked my substitute teachers, so hopefully your kids feel the same.
I LOVE those pin/brooch things from Kimba, they are so stunning.
The baked goods look delish!
Can you please type up a schedule of when/how you get everything done?!
Love the wreath, I would just love to see you in action when you are crafting away!
Oh how cute! I think you could even have this wreath up all year long!
