A Country Valentine Burlap Wreath

Stephanie over at The Enchanting Rose 

and 

Mary over at Visits with Mary,

made a Valentine Wreath, theirs were so pretty that

 it got me to wanting to make one also.  I had bought this roll

of burlap back before Christmas. Didn't know what I was 

going to do with it, I just loved and wanted it.

 

I wasn't sure what I was going to do with

it but I love rustic, as well as frilly things. What other

than use it for a Valentine Wreath!

I took a clothes hanger and my sweet hubby cut the 

top off it and I bent it into what looked somewhat

like a heart to start off with. I did have to tweak it a bit more.

 I then took a needle and some craft thread folded the burlap and gathered it around the edges.

I ran the hanger through the gathered burlap and did use a little hot glue in places to keep it where I wanted it. I bent the wire together at the top. I then found some red ribbon in my sewing box, and glued it around the edges of the burlap. I put the key that I received

from my friend at Christmas at the top and tied a ribbon above it.

My daughter stopped in for a visit and she made a couple of suggestions. Between the both of us this is how it came out.

Now it's been a few years since I have done this type of thing. 

Years ago I did do craft shows and sold my items, 

but since I have arthritis, my fingers don't like me doing this

anymore. 

These are the items I used.

After ALL that hard work it's time for tea!

 Have you tried the Little Debbie, Red Velvet Valentine Cake?
They're good!

Have a Blessed Day!
