Red Paper Heart Wreath



About this time last year, I shared with you a project where I made a heart shaped wreath out of recycled cardboard and brown paper packing material. 

It is still one of my most viewed posts!

Then I figured out how to recreate the crinkled paper {sort of}, and shared another paper heart wreath I made with vintage sheet music.

Recently, I've made some more paper heart wreaths for the shop using vintage sheet music and vintage dictionary pages. 




{Those are available here}




Awhile back, someone gave me some red paper gift bag filler, which is very similar to what I had used to make the other wreaths. 

I decided I was going to break out of my usual neutral theme and make a festive red heart wreath.




A little wild, huh? 








I added a vintage canvas hanging tie to it, and finished the back with vintage sheet music. 






This "wild and woolly" red heart Valentine wreath is available at the shop right now, and it really stands out : )

I hope you're having a good weekend, friends!

Simple Cupcake Liner Heart




We are getting our first big snow here in western Colorado since we got back from southern California two weeks ago. 

Today I'm showing you a simple Valentine craft, perfect for a snowy, staying-in-the-house kind of day. 





Here's what you'll need:

Scrap cardboard for the heart frame
Cupcake liners 
Sharp scissors
Hot glue gun
Ribbon or strip of fabric to make a hanger for the heart




Cut out a heart shaped frame from a piece of cardboard (I used a piece of a box left over from Christmas) The edges don't need to be perfect because they will be covered. My heart is approximately 10" tall.





Shape the cupcake liners into a flower shape by gathering the top edge together and twisting the bottom. 










Flatten down the twisted bottom of the cupcake liners a bit and hot glue to the cardboard heart frame. I used about 25 for my heart, as a point of reference. Just fill in as full as you need to so there's no cardboard showing through. 




You could punch a hole in the cardboard heart frame (before gluing on the cupcake liners) for a hanger. But for this one, I just used hot glue to attach a strip of white cotton fabric







I hung mine with a cute vintage key. 



How simple is that? 

Hope you're staying cozy, friends!
