Upcycled Heart Wreath Tutorial

I love how this wreath turned out! I wish that pictures could do it justice.  Does any one else have that frustration with their crafty creations?  Oh well, Here we go.

Here is where the finished wreath actually sits in my room.  Kinda cute huh?  It doesn't look too shabby next to my painting that a sweet Italian man painted for me.

I started by bending a hanger into a heart shape.

Next I used brown card stock, and the the Fancy Flower punch from of course Stampin' Up.  I then punched a lot of these flowers out.

Then I sprayed the flowers with water using a spray bottle.  The next step is to take your bone folder and twist the paper flowers around the tip.

Then you let them dry, and they look like this. (I added a blue one for kicks and giggles)

Then you'll want to start glueing the paper flowers together to make these cute little bundles.  This is the back side of one. You will need a bunch of hot glue for this part!

Then you glue them down to the hanger.  When there were a few spots that looked bare I added a single crunched up flower.

Here is a picture of the backside where I glued a piece of ribbon.

Here is what it looks like hanging on my wall.  It could look super cute on your door, or in red!  I love that with a punch you can make so many different projects.  To buy the punch and the paper you are looking at just over $20 for a super cute and fun project. (That's assuming that you have a glue gun... most people have those right?)
