10 DAYS OF VALENTINES- DAY 5: DECORATE YOUR DOOR

 For day 5 I'm going to show you how to create this funky yet very cute wreath for your door. It is extremely easy and inexpensive.
Supplies needed: Large piece of cardboard, pencil, 1 sheet of card stock paper, box cutter, scissors, hot glue gun, scrap fabric, small wooden letters,craft glue, glitter, large piece of ribbon.
Create a heart template out of your card stock paper. Trace the heart template onto the large piece of cardboard.
Once your done tracing the template onto the cardboard, carefully draw a second heart on the outside of  the already traced heart. You now have two hearts traced onto your cardboard, as you can see above. Cut out both hearts using a box cutter.
 You will use the hot glue gun to cover each heart with your favorite pieces of fabric. This is a great use for any scrap fabric laying around your home. While your gluing make sure you tighten the fabric around the cardboard hearts as much as you can. Covering up the larger heart might be a little tricky. I realized that covering the entire heart first then cutting out the middle was the easiest way to do it.
After both hearts are covered in fabric you will layer & hot glue the smaller heart on top of the larger one. Choose out your wooden letters for your message or quote and coat them with craft glue. Next you will sprinkle a good amount of glitter over them. Set aside and let your letters dry for about 30 minutes to an hour. Using your hot glue gun, glue your glittery letters onto the top layer heart. Tie your ribbon on the top of the cut out heart, adjusting the length as you please. Project completed!! Your wreath is ready to hang
I am happy to say that this has been the look on my front door for about two weeks now and I love it!! I'm so glad I shared this with you guys today. Hope you all enjoy this cheerful door piece as much as I do! Feel free to share your finished project, I would love to see!! XO
