Getting In The Valentine's Spirit

I've never had a wreath specifically for Valentine's Day before, but I saw this idea on a craft blog somewhere and figured I'd give it a try.  I'm so glad I did because I love it and it cost me less than $3 to make!


I took a wire hanger and bent it into a heart shape - I snipped it off the part that actually hangs on the rod afterwards because I didn't need it to attach to the door.  I had considered tying a bow on it and hanging it up that way, but chose this instead.  I bought a roll of red tulle at the craft store (with a 40% off coupon).   I cut the tulle into 6 inch strips and then attached it to the wire just like you do to make a tutu.  For those of you who've never made a tutu, fold the tulle in half then knot it onto the wire by putting the two ends through the loop end.  I used the entire spool on this wreath.  Making it full was the trick.  

Pretty simple and inexpensive...Just what I like in a craft!  Thought I'd share incase anyone else wanted to try it.
