So I thought "Looks simple enough!" And decided to give it a go. The pin called for a cardboard box, a push pin, fabric, ribbon, hot glue, and conversation hearts. I myself used a cardboard box, a big valentines heart filled with candy for a stencil (I can't freehand) a small valentines heart filled with candy for a stencil, red acrylic paint, hot glue, gift ribbon, and a premade gift bow.
I traced the hearts onto the cardboard box with a sharpie and started cutting. This was not a simple task. It was very hard to cut into the thick cardboard with scissors and I had to use a sharp kitchen knife for the middle. This was the hardest part.
So when I finally got it cut out and trimmed, I painted it with acrylic paint.
Once you get the painting done, just find something else to do while it dries. I personally boiled chicken.
The next part was the most time consuming. Hot glueing every single heart onto the painted cardboard.
From there, per instructions, I tied the wrapping ribbon to make a loop to hand the heart on my wreath hanger. Now the instructions simply say push the pin in the cardboard. This did not work. I had to triple glue the pin in the back to keep it from ripping out.
Does it look like the picture? No not even close. It was inspired by the picture lol! So here is my completed wreath on my door. It was time consuming, I burnt my fingertips off with hot glue, but I think it looks cute!
