Valentine Wreath

I found this super cute wreath at The Girl Creative.  I had to make it for my mother-in-law.



Instead of using ribblon, like she did, I went to Hobby Lobby and got three great fabrics at 30% off!  They were so perfect to create the soft, sweet look I was wanting.  And for only about $4.00

I purchased 1/4 of a yard of each one.  I was not sure how much I needed and it was not mentioned in the orginal tutorial.  It turned out that I had enough for two.  So if you are looking to make just one, an 1/8 of a yard would would be perfect.

I tore the fabric to create the frayed look.



Then I had my husband make me a heart with an old wire hanger using the suggestion that she had to link the ends.




Then I tied each strip of fabric on, using the same order each time.

This was the result.  Not as whimsical as the example, but I think that it is perfect none the less.  It was fun to make and I love the way it turned out.  Thank you Girl Creative!

Hi, I'm stopping by from somewhat simple. That turned out really cute. I like that you used fabric, 'cause many of us have that sitting around already.

That is really cute! How crafty you are...and for a few posts down, I really don't like Wal-Mart either. Dang those everyday low prices..
