Project #1: Felt Heart Wreath


With Valentine's fast approaching, I thought this was a cute way to spread the love.
I found the project here.


This wreath is super easy to make. The prep is a bit time consuming, but well worth it!




Here are the items you'll need:


- 1/2 yard of red felt

- heart-shaped wreath (good luck finding one! I spent 2 hours looking for this.)

- long straight pins

-8" of ribbon

First you'll cut ALL of the felt into 3" circles. I traced the bottom of a soup can onto cardstock. I then pinned the card stock to the felt and began cutting.This is the time consuming part. I spent a few nights with Hub-B watching tv and cutting.


Take a circle and fold it in half, like so:


Now fold your half-circle in half:

Then pin the point to the wreath:

Fold and pin until the entire wreath is covered. You will not need to do the back of the wreath.

Pin the 8" of ribbon to the back and there you have it! A festive Valentine's wreath.
