Total cost of project $3 for me since I bought pink ornaments or free if you use your red ones from Christmas.
4 boxes of pink ornaments found at Walmart for 75% off=$3 total. (save one ornament for the end of the project) If you have red ornaments from Christmas use them.
Wire hanger found in closet=free ( I would recommend the thinnest one you have if you are using the small ornaments. I also left the ends open so that I could attach the ornaments so all you have to do is shape it into a heart but dont close the heart, we will get to that point in a bit)
Have you ever seen Mommie Dearest? No wire hangers part, everytime I see wire hangers in my closet I think about that movie.
Ok Back to project now. Find the thinnest wire hanger you have, shape it into a heart but dont close the heart, attach ornaments by just sliding them on. Once you get to the point that you cant get anymore ornaments on there tie the 2 points together with something. Dont bother trying to bend the points together to close the heart, its too hard and you will risk breaking or messing up your wreath. Get a twisty tie (from bread loaf or something like that ) and use the twisty tie to bring the two points together. After I closed the heart up I needed to cover the twisty tie so thats where the 1 ornament that I saved came into the picture, at this point you would glue that last ornament on with hot glue to cover up the twisty tie. And viola, you have a $3 wreath. Dont forget if you have red ornaments left over from Christmas you could also do this in red ones as well. Basically I have only ruined 1 ornament by glueing it after Valentines I can undo the twisty tie and slide the ornaments back off.
