Fun Fur Valentine Wreath

A few days ago, a couple of friends invited me to make a Valentine's wreath with them. We had a great time! I didn't take pictures of the process, just the end results. But it's very easy: You basically wind yarn around a wreath form--we used the vine-y kind--and then hot-glue decorations to it. That's mine at the left.

The huge difference between ours was the yarn. The project called for a nice, thick yarn, but I fell in love with the fun fur. It took me about 5 times longer to wind the yarn (and they wrapped theirs two and three times!) but I felt it was well worth it.

I did wrap some shiny heart garland over the fun fur, but you can barely see it in the picture. After that, we just glued some heart-shaped gems onto some glitter hearts and glued them to the wreath. Hot glue rules!
