Christmas and New Year came and went so fast this year and its already almost Valentine's Day! So it's time to pack away our pine wreaths and hang out pink and red heart wreaths! I've been researching the perfect wreath to make for this Valentine's day and I want to share my pick with you guys. It was the most simple wreath to make and incredibly adorable! For this project you need: 1. Hearth shaped 10-inch polystyrene wreath form. These are available at a florist shop. 2. Utility knife with saw blade. 3. Hot glue gun and glue sticks. 4. Several bunches of dried cockscomb. 5. 3 yards of satin ribbon. 6. T-pins 7. Floral wire. The first step to making your wreath is rounding off the edges of the wreath with the utility knife which will allow for the flowers to flow over the sides. Next, trim the stems off the flowers leaving about one fourth of an inch. Apply glue to the base of the flower and arrange flowers on the form, grouping them by color. Cut a yard of ribbon, fold it in half, and attach it to the back of the wreath with a T-pin to form a loop for hanging. After hanging the wreath from a tack in the wall, tie remaining ribbon into a bow with long tails, and mount the bow on the tack with floral wire. You could also do silk roses or other flowers for a different look! Either way you'll definitely have a Valentine's Day wreath that others will be envious of...and you'll get to tell them you made it yourself! Remember to be creative and have fun!
