All Hearts Wreath

For this project, you'll need a collection of coordinating papers, a small wooden wreath frame (available in floral supply section of craft store), 7 small wooden hearts, 1 swoopy wooden heart shape, glue, scissors, clear glass glitter, hot glue.

Begin by tracing the heart shapes onto the reverse side of the paper and cut them out.
Glue the paper hearts to the wooden heart shapes.


Paint the edges of each heart with coordinating paint.

Gesso and paint the wreath form...

Hot glue four of the heart shapes as shown below...

Continue gluing the remaining 4 hearts, overlapping the hearts you just glued, as shown below...
Paint the surface of the hearts thick with glue...
And then pour the glass glitter over the wet glue...
Shake off excess glitter (repour into glitter container)
Glue ribbon to the back of the wreath.
