I have another heart shaped craft for you and this time its a little more involved than last week's wreath. See that HERE: http://www.hometalk.com/diy/craft/wreaths/valentine-ornament-wreath-using-a-clothes-hanger-6528853
I actually had this yarn wrapped heart left over from a wreath I made last year.

You'll find directions on wrapping the heart with yarn in that post.
The heart you see below was made using items I had in my craft stash, but in case you don't have lots of "stuff" just hanging around like I do, it will be pretty cheap to recreate.
Cupid's Arrow Wreath

Since you probably don't have a yarn wrapped heart already lying around like I did, the yarn wrapping will be the hardest part of this project. Okay, and maybe the flowers too if you don't already know how to create those. Okay, so maybe its not so easy now! Gosh!
Here's what you'll need to recreate my heart:
To make the frilly little felt flowers you see on the right of the heart, you need 8 pink felt squares that measure 2" x 2".
This is how they will look when you have all of them pinned to the foam wreath form.
Using a hot glue gun, add the flowers you created with crepe paper and fabric.
Then using the above steps for folding the little felt squares, add about five more squares here and there around your flowers wherever you feel it needs to be filled in.
I took two small pieces of fabric and a few pearl head pins and added to the "flowers" on the right side of the heart. I felt it needed a bit more something else here.
Full step by step direction on how to make the arrow on our blog.
