This is absolutely a Sweetheart of a project!
It took me around 5 to 6 hours within 3 days to complete it.
Materials needed:
Styrofoam heart (I bought mine at Hobby Lobby for $3.97)
One and half yards of red felt fabric (More of less depending on how loose/close together you place each circle ‘cone’ and depending on how big your heart is….they make several different sizes.)
between 250/300 straight pins
18″ long of ribbon total folded in half (or less if you prefer, maybe even more if that is your taste)
Scissors
Directions:
First you need to create a template for the circle. I used a cookie cutter. It is about 3″ in diameter. I didn’t cut out all my circles at once. I cut out 15-20 a time, and then placed them on the heart form.
After you are done making the circles. Take the circle and fold it in half, then fold it in half again. This makes a triangle/cone shape.
Attach the ‘cone’ to the heart using a straight pin into the folded point. Continue this all the way around.
Then take the ribbon, fold it in half and attach it to the back. And your done! Hang and admire!
**TIPS**
You can make this as full as you want. Some only use 3/4th of a yard of felt, while I used just shy of 1 and a half yards. And it also depends on how big your heart is as to how much fabric you will use.
The circles do NOT have to be perfectly cut.
To make the circles a little faster~ fold over your fabric and cut out two at a time.
I would not stick this wreath on the door for outside use. This is a ‘indoor’ wreath.
Make sure you watch your pins that they do not come through on the back and you end up sticking yourself. This didn’t happen to me. However, you can never be too careful.
My daughter wants me to make her one for her room in the color of pink. I might make a step by step picture tutorial if i can find another heart form.
~ENJOY~
