Happy Valentine's Day!!

Valentine's Day Wreath

I have had this pretty fluffy wreath for about 6 weeks now. My mother had made one for herself in a different color and of course i just loved it. And of course if mom has the makings of another, she is going to make it for me.  I just needed to finish it off.  All the main wreath consists of is a foam core and a pretty feather Boa. You can purchase both at JoAnn's or Michael's. The Boa's come in an array of gorgeous colors. You will also need approx. 10 feet of matching ribbon, about an inch wide, preferably with the wire edges, this helps in keeping your bow in place. And last but not least, some pretty birds or flowers to finish it off.

This is what the main wreath looks like after adding your boa.

Pretty ribbon and birds...

Just wrap the boa around the wreath core making sure it is even all the way around and then pin it in place with some straight pins. Next make a pretty bow (i bought a couple different ribbons, i wasn't sure which one would work best) using a piece of wire so you are able to just tuck it into the foam core, but make sure you cover the wire with a small piece of the ribbon, this will give you the long dangling lengths you see on mine. Then just poke your birds or flowers right into the foam core also, most birds and flowers already come with the wire base so all you might need to do is trim it off. Tada..... your done! An easy 30 min project!
