My Heart's On Fire

No, I don't have prego heart burn or anything; I was just trying to think of another title for this post besides: Heart Shaped Valentine's Wreath. Not sure how successful it is, you be the judge. ;0)


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!
