DIY Valentine’s Day Wreath

I don't go crazy decorating for Valentine's Day, but I do just enough to help out with the post-Christmas blues. It helps, trust me! Now, please read on for details about how to make a Valentine's Day wreath for yourself.

Materials needed:

Foam core board

Washi tape

Old Gold Ribbon

Red tissue paper

Scissors

Glue

Utility knife

Cutting board

Pencil

STEP 1

Draw and cut out your X and O  shapes from the foam core board using your utility knife and cutting board.  For the X, I used a small level to draw out the shape.  For my O, I used a red plastic bowl to create the top and bottom curves of the O.

STEP 2

Cover the back side of your letters with washi tape.  This is not a vital step, but as you can see, the edges of the letters are rough and imperfect, so washi tape is a nice way to make your project look finished.

STEP 3

Now you are ready to make the front of your project pretty! Cut your tissue paper into 1 inch squares.  I used less than 1 pack of tissue paper for my Valentine's Day wreath, and the portion I used made a TON of 1 inch squares.

STEP 4

Place 1 square of tissue paper over the eraser end of your pencil, as pictured below.

STEP 5

Next, with your tissue paper still on the pencil, place your tissue paper on the glue covered portion of the foam board.  Repeat over and over and over again until your letters are covered in fluffy tissue paper.

STEP 6

Cut a piece of satin ribbon and tie a loop knot at the top of it. Then use a hot glue gun to attach your X and O to the ribbon (see below). Then hang it up!
