I made a wreath for Valentine's Day using a styrofoam packing circle I salvaged from something we bought, a foam Valentine kit I bought after the holiday last year,and additional hearts and valentine pieces and ribbon that were all 90% off at Michaels last year after the holiday.
I started by glueing and stapling red wire edged glitter ribbon to the styrofoam circle.

Next I added the valentines I made using the foam kit. It had faom stickers that could be placed on the postcard looking pieces to create unique valentines.

On top of those I glued the balsa wood sayings and hearts.

Finally, I wired on a bow and the glitter red heart hanging in the center, that I also glued the "Sweet" angled across and glued to the heart.

It is very lightweight because of the materials I used and very "glittery" thanks to the ribbon and the pieces I used.

Happy Valentines Day everybody,
Candy
