Create a beautiful country-themed wreath with this simple craft project. You will need the following materials:

  • A piece of fabric, 12 inches wide by 48 inches long
  • Scrap material for hearts
  • Cardboard
  • Wooden hoop
  • Hot glue gun and glue
  • Sewing machine
  • Raffia
  • Tacky glue
  • Scissors
  • Needle and thread

Instructions:

  1. Fold the fabric in half so that it is 6 inches wide by 48 inches long, and sew along the 48-inch length with the wrong side facing outward.
  2. Pull the fabric through the opening so that it is right side out. Sew a straight line 1-1/2 inches from the edge along the entire 48-inch length (similar to making a curtain).
  3. Feed the opened wooden hoop through the 1-1/2 inch opening until it is completely covered by the fabric.
  4. Glue the wooden hoop closed and hand sew the two ends of the fabric together to close it up.
  5. Using the cardboard, cut out enough heart shapes to slightly overlap when placed on the inside rim of the hoop.
  6. Cut out heart shapes from the scrap material, making them slightly larger than the cardboard cutouts.
  7. Using tacky glue, glue each fabric heart to a cardboard heart, being careful to glue the overlap to the back so it looks neat. Allow the glue to dry.
  8. Hot glue the hearts onto the rim of the hoop, allowing each one to overlap slightly.
  9. Make a raffia bow and hot glue it to the bottom of the wreath.

Your country heart wreath is now ready to display and enjoy!
