I Heart this Wreath…

Although tomorrow is Valentines Day…today I would like to share with you a darling wreath that you could hang and enjoy all year long!

This project started out with a wire coat hanger, sheet music, a roll of .20 gauge wire, and mod podge…

After bending my wire hanger into the shape of a heart…I stalled and was not sure exactly what  I was going to make. Then, I came across this wreath from Lucy at the blog Craftberry Bush, and found the inspiration I needed!

Since mine is a little bit different, I will show you a quick step by step on how to create your very own.

Start by bending your wire hanger into the shape of a heart. I decided to leave the top so it could be used to hang your finished wreath. Then form a length of your .20 gauge wire into the word Love...

 

 

Next, attach the Love to your heart shape. I used a little bit of thinner wire to attach the letter “L” and just wrapped the tail of the letter “e” around the heart…

Now for the messy part…wrap your strips of sheet music all around the heart and the word Love…lots and lots of strips…

 

 

 

While that is drying…cut out some paper leaves and make some paper rosettes. I followed the easy step by step directions by Emily at Jones Design Co. here. I also covered some wire to create the curly pieces and went out into the yard to collect a few twigs…

 

 

Then just hot glue all of your adornments onto your wreath however you like. I also decided to add some paper butterflies cut out from book pages. You can add whatever you like to customize your wreath…

 

 

Have fun with it!

 

 

 

I Love this Wreath!

 

 

 

 

I actually ended up making two of these adorable Love Wreaths and will be selling them in our shop Hip Chick Designs. Please contact me for more info.

Happy Valentines Day to you!
