Rustic Farmhouse Valentine Wreath for the Front Door

Took a Dollar Tree tinsel, glittery wreath wrapped it with a roll of burlap ribbon also from Dollar Tree.

For the bows, I used 2" red burlap ribbon and 1.5" wired brown burlap ribbon from dollar tree.  I believe the 1.5" red & tan check and  7/8" black & white checked ribbon came from Craft Outlet. I cut 6" lengths of all the ribbon.

Then I layered red burlap add from my stash raffia and a couple of single strand of pip berries

wired burlap ribbon, red and tan ribbon and last the black and white ribbon

used some twine to tie up and attached to this finished bow to the wreath.

I always try and keep some light weight card stock/board that I get from cereal boxes for templates.

So I used the cereal box cardboard and cut out three hearts large medium, small for this fabric heart accent for the wreath. I used the black striped flat fold fabric that comes in this bundle from Wal-Mart, also red burlap ribbon and a aged book page.

 

I'm cutting out two heart from the fabric because, I'm making a little heart pillow. The first layer of the hear pillow is the black stripped fabric,

then the red burlap heart is a little smaller,

The third and last heart is cut from aged book paper.

 

Glue the three layer, I used Aleene's Tacky Glue and let it all dry completely.

I said I was making pillow hearts, so I added a cotton ball for batting.

With embroidery thread I used a blanket stitch around the edge to close up the heart pillow.

A finished little heart pillow.

I like how this project turned out.

Thank you for stopping by.......until the next project.

DYI- Thrifted Heart Shape Twig Wreath

A thrift heart shape wreath, I believe I paid $.50 from my January 2019 Thrift Haul

I removed as much of the old hot glue and greenery as I could, I also trimmed up the center twigs.  I had some left over Spanish moss from another project, using Aleene's Tacky Glue, I applied the moss to the wreath.  When the moss applied wreath was dry I attached the burlap ribbon bow  with hot glue.

I really like how this project turned out.

Thank you for stopping by,

DYI Heart using Puzzle pieces

Hello friends, I found this Idea off of YouTube at

Krafts by Katelyn  

I took puzzle pieces that were missing pieces mixed paint to get this gray color and painted the puzzle pieces

I

This heart was purchased at Dollar Tree I chalk painted it and tried a little distress technique with a brush and some of the gray paint.  You can see I need a little practice.

Glued the puzzle pieces on the edge three layers deep, the tin heart was from a sign also purchased at Dollar Tree and I tied a jute bow and glued it to the tin heart.

This is how I displayed  the heart in my den on the tiered red shelves.  I think it turned out to be a great item to my decor, it was very easy and looks so nice sitting in this cigar box on a shelf in my den.

Have a wonderful day!  Vicki
