Welcome to this week's tutorial! In thinking about what to share with you all this week, I realized that I have NO Valentine's Day decorations. None. Zip. Zero. Nada.
To fix this little over site, I decided that it was high time I made my self a wreath. However, I had this fun little frame that I had spray painted red a few weeks ago, inspiration struck and I went with it (though the hubster totally doesn't get it. O-well.)
I give you the:
Tutorial.
You will need:
One old picture frame spray painted red. It can be as large as you would like. I used a small one, but if you wanted to do a large one, I think it would look very pretty. Just adjust the size of your heart to fit the frame. :)
Some pink fabric scraps large enough to cut out your hearts.
a sewing needle
matching thread
eyelet lace four times the length that you want your wreath to hang
satin ribbon
Now, I don't have any pictures of me spray painting the frame, but, I'm thinking that you guys can handle that part with out my help. ;) Have it sprayed and ready to go.
(Like my band aid? I *highly* recommend only using a rotary cutter as it is intended to be used. *Don't* try carving an eraser with one. You might get cut. Just sayin'.)
Ta-Dah! My new Valentine's Day "Wreath" hack. What do you think, fun no?
I'll be linking this "wreath" up to the linky's on the right. :)
...just THE perfect idea!!!

I really like it! Very cute!
ReplyDeleteand don't feel bad, I once dropped a rotary cutter on my big toe...a stitch and a tetanus shot later...well you get the idea and I still have the scar as proof...I'm a lot more careful now...
OUCH!! At least yours was an accidental oops, whereas mine was a stupid oops. lol. Lesson learned. :)
ReplyDeleteSO cute! I happen to have a band aid on the same finger...crafting is pain, lol.
ReplyDeleteHow elegant and simple (in a good way!) is that?!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I love that you worked the frame in there.
