My daughter was home from school yesterday.She wanted to have a girls day out and shop but the temperature was 6 and the windchill was -14.Now I am no one to say no to shopping but when it is that cold I do not go out anywhere not even to shop! Other than driving my daughter to school.
Instead we stayed home by the fire and did a little crafting.I wanted to make something for Valentines day.I really don’t decorate for that holiday.But thought it would be fun to make a few heart wreaths.Using only what I had on hand.
I had some scrap muslin and some dizzy frizzy too that I found at the thrift shop for .50.
I knew I would find something use that for.
I have also used the dizzy frizzy for adorning packages too.
This is so simple and nothing new really.I just took some wire and made heart shapes.
On one of the heart shaped frames I took pieces of muslin that I cut and ripped off and just tied around the whole wreath making knots.
There is no correct size or length just have fun.
I love how frayed the muslin looks.
With the dizzy frizzy we just cut pieces off and tied these around the whole wreath.Again no specific lengths.
We just cut these as we went along.
This is our wreath with the dizzy frizzy.I love how soft it looks.I hung this on an old door piece from an old farm cabinet.
Here is the muslin wreath.It has a feathered sort of look to it and I just adore it!
This was so simple and so much fun to do!
Hanging on my old barn door in our kitchen.I love the added roses.Gives it more of a romantic look.
Do you decorate for Valentines day? If you do are you a crafty person?
I wanted to thank Pamela from My Front Porch to yours for featuring my Slip cover sofa and my Annie Sloan painted table.
And Kerryanne from Shabby Art Boutique for featuring my Slip cover sofa. I thank you both so much for featuring my home! I am always honored and humbled to have my home featured.

I love your wreaths! They are adorable! I used to decorate quite abit for Valentine’s Day, but I haven’t so much in the past few years. Not sure what I’ll do this year…maybe just a simple vignette on my dining room table. xo
Thank you Stacy! I used to decorate more for Valentines day when my daughter was small.

Anne
Love, love, love the wreaths, how very clever and pretty. I’m sure you both had a great time crafting. 6 degrees, brrrrrr, hugs to all
Thank you!I am sure this is not original.But I was trying to think of something easy,fun and using what we had at home.Oh I would love to be where you are.Today it is 3

Thank you Betsy! Yes it is fun to shop your own house! I am always checking out the craft section of thrift stores!I always find cool and cheap craft supplies!

Anne
I LOVE LOVE LOVE these hearts, Anne! Especially the feathery looking one! How much muslin did you actually use for it? Thanks for sharing this sweet tutorial! ♥
xoxo laurie
Thank you so much Laurie.
I don’t know how much I used.I was cutting it up as I went along.If I had to guess it was not even a half a yard of fabric.And it depends how fluffy you want it.

Anne
They turned out so cute! It was worth not going shopping!
Thank you! Yes much better to stay in a warm house this time of the year!
xx
Anne
I love how those turned out! So cute! I’ve never seen those before. I don’t usually decorate for Valentines Day. Maybe because there are nothing but boys around my house. If I had a daughter (like you) I would probably be more inclined to do that. I like where you hung your wreaths too.
Thank you Kelly! At first I was just planning on using these wire hearts all on there own.But since we were home I had a thought of what they would look like if I did this and what about that.Valentines day decor is not really big around here.But I think these are sweet even after Valentines day and so easy too!

Anne
Anne,

How pretty Anne! I love them hanging on the old doors. It’s really cold here today and it looks like the cold is here to stay for a while. I’m not complaining because our weather has been very mild up until today. Hope you have a wonderful day, Gail
Thank you Gail! Oh we have had a mild winter too so I should not complain either.But I really hate the bitter cold!
Stay warm!

Anne
Darling. Very simple and cute! I don’t decorate much for Valentines Day either, not since my kids were very young, but I would love to have a few subtle pretties like these!
XO,

Well, I have never heard of dizzy frizzy, but I just may have to find some- I adore your wreath, and the muslin one is lovely, too! I don’t really decorate for V Day, but who knows, I may throw a little project together at the last minute. Maybe a dizzy frizzy one!
Thank you Sheila!

How adorable. I like both verisons. The look so nice haning on the door and the planted wall.
I was doing a little crafting yesterday too! Nothing as cute as this, but it seems like it must have been the day for it.
Thank you Robin!I am not really a crafty person.Just thought of this idea as we were staying home trying to keep warm!

Anne
LOVE the linen heart!!! I may have to commission one from your “child” labor!! If you don’t mind, i would like to suggest this idea {on a smaller scale} to Tate for her class’s Valentine’s Day project..the moms would love them!

Anne, I am forever saying to my students ‘keep it simple’ because quite often ‘less is more’. You prove this theory with your gorgeous hearts. Simple and unadorned, they are perfect.
Thank you so much! You are so sweet!

How fun! These are the days your daughter will remember. Your yarn wreath reminds me of one of those shaggy sheep and looks perfect on your old barn door!

Your wreaths are fabulous! I don’t know which I like better – they are both wonderful. I have never heard of dizzy frizzy. I’m going to have to go out and get me some. Thanks for showing us.
Thank you Patty!You can find that in the craft store by the doll supplies.I found mine at a thrift store.

Anne
Next time I see this yarn I will most certainly pick it up! It looks gorgeous and keeping my fingers crossed on the contest you entered this in! And the muslin is just as lovely! I was wondering… what if you tied it a soft shade of pink before creating it? Just a thought……
xo
Oh that would be lovely too!Great suggestion!
xx
Anne
These are wonderful and my favorite is the dizzy frizzy one. I have never heard of dizzy frizzy-is this the stuff you put in packages to keep them from rattling aroung?
You can find it at craft stores.Usually by the doll supplies.
LOVE! That muslin wreath is beautiful. I love white and the subtle way it makes a heart.
Thank you so much!
