Heart Shaped Wreath

I shared this post back in January,now that summer is here this would make an easy and fun craft using flowers from your own garden to make this heart shaped wreath.

I used roses but you could try doing a larger version using peonies.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It’s good to be resourceful and use what you already have.

You know I love roses,I thought these mini roses that I picked up from the market would be perfect for this project.

My roses are starting to dry out,and I actually still like to display them dried.

But I also like saving them for projects.

All you need to make this  heart wreath is a bunch of dried roses,just the tops,and some thin wire.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Get a piece of wire and figure out how big you would like your heart shape to be.

Don’t make it too big it may not lay right and might look wonky.

Then cut the tips off of your stems and start threading them on your wire.

Keep threading the roses on your wire.

This works best if your roses are not totally dried out.

Mine are still pliable.

Then bend your wire into a heart shape.

You will still have a little wire in the center that is exposed.

Just add another rose head onto that wire,you may need two or three depending on how much wire is left.

That’s it!

Now to hang it I used some lace which I think is pretty and gives it a touch of romance.
