Coiled Wire Heart For Valentines

Looking for a quick and easy last minute Valentines to create a special touch to an awesome occasion? How about making a coiled wire heart to place on a vase of flowers or a cool bottle of wine?
You only need wire from the dollar store, a skewer stick, some tools you have on hand and about ten minutes of your time! How cool is that!
Begin by coiling or wrapping the wire around the length of a skewer stick. If you have gaps in the coils just press them together to tighten.
Once you've finished coiling, remove from stick and cut a straight piece of wire several inches longer than the coiled wire.
Slightly fold the wire in half and use a plastic cup or anything round to help shape the wire into curves of a heart.
Next, grab each end of the coiled wire with pliers and stretched the entire length - evenly separating the coils and inserting the straight wire into the extended coil, forming a heart.
Bring the two ends together, wrapping one around the other. Finish the longer end by cutting off excess and using a round nose plier to make a loop at the top to close the wire.
