My First Craft Project : The Tulle Heart!

Ok, so I've been browsing the amazing craft blogs looking for fun projects to do for Valentine's Day.  I've seen so many projects that I wanted to add to my to do list, it was hard to pick one to start with.  So, I picked one that I already have all the supplies on hand.  Introducing the Tulle Heart Wreath...



I started with a wire hanger (I know, I know, Mommy Dearest would be so upset about the use of wire hangers...) and shaped and molded it into the shape of a heart.



Then I cut the red tulle (from a spool) - hey that rhymes... anyway, I cut the tulle into 6x6 squares.





I then started in the point of the heart by looping the tulle around the hanger like you would when making a tulle tutu.


I continued around the hanger until the entire hanger was full. Make sure you are pulling the tulle tight so it doesn't come loose.



The final step of the Tulle Heart Wreath is to bend the wire loop behind the tulle.

 


That's all folks, a super easy, super fun Valentine's Day wreath!


ENJOY!
