A couple of weeks ago I made a heart wreath. I liked it and all, but I didn't love it. (You can see my original wreath here.)
After making some felt flowers the other day, I knew that I wanted to re-do my heart wreath. So here is what I did:
- I took the berries off. Cute, but not the look I decided I wanted.
- Wrapped more yarn around the wreath making a criss-cross shape. I not only love the added texture, style and shape it gives the wreath, but it reminds me of the "x"'s in XOXO so I think it is particularly fitting for Valentine's Day.
-
Next I made some more felt flowers and attached them with hot glue.
And voila! My re-done, new and improved Valentine's Day Heart Wreath!
Now time for my weekly Simply Link {Party}! Can't wait to see what you have been up to!

Oh I love the added texture by wrapping the yarn like that! I may just have to do that on my next yarn wreath! <br /><br />www.livingcraftilyeverafter.blogspot.com<br /><br />Kelly

Great revamp! I tend to do the same thing. Make something and then revamp it to make it look better. Nice work.
