Hi friends! I'm excited to be a part of a collaboration of bloggers that are sharing ideas on the 10th of the month for under $10.00. If the truth were to be told, I invited myself to be a part of this group. I'm always up for a frugal crafting or decorating idea. I'll link the other bloggers at the bottom of this post. I used to subscribe to three or four magazines a month but Pinterest is one of my favorite sources for inspiration these days. Their search bar is a great tool to use in order to ferret out new and fun ideas. Last year I pinned some darling no sew wire hearts to my Valentine's Day board. I made one out of some antique eyelet and an old hanger. It didn't look good at all. The hanger wire was a little too thick and it needed to be a little bit more delicate. One side was plumper than the other. It was back to the drawing board. Last time I cleaned off my potting bench, I noticed a package of floral wire stems. The 20 gauge size looked just right. I gathered my supplies: Scissors Floral Wire Stems Fabric scraps Wire cutters Glue gun The wire was formed into a heart shape. The two ends were joined with a dab of hot glue. The wire heart was used as a template to cut out some eyelet and lace. I had some scraps in my fabric stash but similar can be found at Joann's. Only a quarter of a yard is necessary. I used the smaller of our two glue guns because the big one was too gloppy. Carefully glue around the edges of the heart, folding as you go. Once the fabric is glued around the wire, embellish as desired with ribbon. I made three of them but the ecru heart is my favorite. This was a no new money project for me but these can be made for the cost of the wire - $2.50 fabric - $2.50 ribbon - $2.99 There are some exquisite bridal laces that would be lovely for this project. Mine is sporting a vintage key but the craft store should have key embellishments. Let me know what you think. Please make plans to pop over to see the other Ten on the 10th bloggers. If you like it, Pin it.
