For this project a willow branch wreath was used to resemble a bird’s nest. Using a hot glue gun, attach crafter’s moss along the inside edge of the wreath. Next, wrap red fabric knit around the top of the wreath. Then, before tying the bow, run the red fabric knit through the hook at the top of the ornament securing it as you make the bow on the wreath. To complete the project take 3 heart shaped picks as shown, and using wire cutters remove all but 1 inch of the stem. Insert the 3 heart shaped picks, staggering them along the right side of the wreath, which allows the attached ribbon to show. Keeping the wreath simple is the key to this design.

Supplies:

•1 Willow branch wreath (9” x 9”) •1 package of crafter’s brown moss •1 medium size silver heart ornament •1 package of 3 Valentine picks with ribbons attached •Red fabric knit ( yard) •Hot glue gun •Glue sticks •Wire cutters
