Anywho~ bad blog titles aside, do you remember my post Christmas Shopping Spree where I found these cute berry branches?
I thought it would be cute to bend them into a wreath for Valentines Day. I usually don't do a lot of decorating for Valentines but these branches were calling my name.
I started by bending the top of the branches into a curve shape.
Then using whatever I had available (in this case a staple gun) to weight the branches down, I used wire to tie the branches together into the shape I wanted.
And then hung it above our fireplace (hence the heart on fire reference above...)
I like that the heart is imperfect, it adds to it's rustic quality. Not a bad way to reuse Christmas clearance!
Do you decorate for Valentine's Day? And I want to apologize in advance if I have another wreath post this week- to many holiday's coming up that I want to celebrate!

I love this idea. I never would have thought of this. I'll have to steal this one. To cute.
Very cute and love that these were from Christmas decorations on sale! I decorate for Valentine's Day almost as much as Christmas . . . it's one of my favorite holidays!
I like it! It's Valentine-y without being cute-sy ;-)
Super cute! I've got some of those branches too in my craft room so I just might make something similar - thanks for the idea!
