4 CRAFTS FOR FEBRUARY HEART WREATH 2 bowls of varying sizes (I used one with a 5" diameter and one with a 7" diameter) red card stock paper pink card stock paper white card stock paper ribbon hole puncher scissors glue Using the larger of the two bowls, trace around to make a large circle on the white card stock paper. Next, place the smaller bowl in the middle of the large circle and trace around that to create a smaller circle. You will now have the foundation for the wreath, ready to be cut out. Using your scissors, cut out the circle. Then, fold your circle gently and make a small cut in the center of your circle. This will allow you to get your scissors in to cut out the inner circle to make a ring. This ring will serve as the base for your Valentine heart wreath. Take your pink card stock paper and make a 2-inch fold along one side. Carefully draw heart halves of varying sizes. This is the age-old trick for making perfectly symmetrical hearts; once you cut these out and unfold them, you will have hearts that are identical on both sides. Cut out your pink hearts and keep folding the paper and repeating the process until you have the desired amount of hearts. Then, repeat the process with red card stock paper to make the red hearts for your Valentine wreath. Take the white cardboard ring and punch two holes about an inch apart. You will use these holes to secure a ribbon so that you can hang the wreath once you are done. Take your red ribbon and pull it through one of the holes. Turn it over and make a knot at the back to secure it in place. Pull the other end of the ribbon through the other hole and do the same. You will now have a ribbon hook that will help you hang the wreath once it's done. Begin gluing your hearts onto your wreath ring. Kids love this part, and even young children can enjoy gluing hearts onto the wreath base.
