After taking down my Christmas decorations (which I did a month ago except for the snowshoes because thay are a winter decoration, not Christmas) I like rediscovering the extra space in my home. But it is missing something. I miss the lights, the decorations, the wreath on the door. So, I thought I needed some Valentine’s bling around to make things a bit more festive. Or at least a wreath on the door.

| my wreath!!! |
I found this tutorial online and away I went to acquire supplies and get crafting! Gathering supplies was seriously the hardest part as nowhere in town had the heart form I needed. Now that my friend Katie showed me how to use my sewing machine, that part was easy.
Materials: Wreath form $6 (Hobby Lobby) ½ yard of satin $1.26 (Wal-Mart) black ribbon/hot glue gun-already had on hand! Total cost of project $7.26 and the result is a lovely wreath and a happy me!
***Please note that I used double the amount of satin listed in the tutorial to create my 12 inch wreath. I also burnished the edges of the satin (as in, ran the fabric through the flame of a lit candle and tried-successfully!-not to set the fabric or the house on fire. This prevents fraying and I like the look of it as well.
