Fun Valentine Project

I saw this wreath on Little Birdie Secrets and thought it would be a fun one to try with Ella. So we headed to the fabric store and she picked out material that matches her Minnie Mouse costume.


It's super duper easy, all you need is fabric cut into two inch squares, Elmer's glue, styrofoam wreath, and a pencil (the remote is optional). The whole project cost less than $5.00 with coupons at Joann's. You can see step by step directions and pictures here. Basically you just put the tip of the pencil in the middle of each square of fabric, wrap the fabric around the tip, dip it in the glue, and stab it into the heart.

We worked on this here and there for a couple of days. She would put some squares on and then I would fill in around each square for her. We took turns putting the squares on and cutting the fabric.




(Sorry the pics are so dark, I'm too tired right now to go back and fix them in Photoshop)

I think it turned out really cute! We are going to hang it with a satin ribbon on her bedroom door. I think she has really liked watching the progress day to day. It is fun to see how proud she is of her finished wreath.
