Vintage Valentine Wreath


I made this Vintage Valentine Wreath today! 

It was soooooo easy!

You can download the cute vintage Valentines on Heather Bullard's blog (here).  



I stick glued each sheet of Valentines to a sheet of card stock.


Then I cut around each Valentine with my fancy scissors.   


Next I added Martha Stewart glitter to the Valentines just using a glue stick.  


I found a piece of thick cardboard and used one of those metal compass thingies (with the pointed sharp end and the pencil at the other end) to trace two circles.  

I cut out the narrow band of circle and stick glued a piece of red scrapbook paper to it.


I positioned the Valentines on the circle and use glue buttons to attach them to the cardboard circle.  A few of the Valentines were attached using foam tape to raise them up.  

I put a piece of the foam tape on the back of the cardboard to attach the wreath to our fireplace brick.





What do you think? 

Is this cute or what?

I think it turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself and it was super simple to make.  

Hop on over to Heather's blog and try it out yourself.

  1. Sandy I didn't know you did this type art. Wow I'm so impressed with what you made. I'm going to check your link. I made an Easter banner last year per Elizabeth's instructions. I should have made a Valentine one too, I still can. Dropped your little package in a very snow covered mail box today.
