Shiny Brite Valentine Wreath

Hi Friends!

While I was putting away Christmas, I held back some ornaments to make this wreath.

I had lots of red, some pinks, silver and gold.

I covered a heart shaped wreath form with Tinsel garland.

I found both items at the Dollar Tree.

Don't skimp on the garland, make it thick.

The hot glue to the garland is what holds the ornaments in place.

* I flip my wreath over, so the ornaments are naturally cradled in the wreath form.

I gathered a few ornaments.

I started with some large ornaments.

Placed them were I wanted and hot glued down.

I like to place them every which way, with the tops showing.

The last thing I added was cupid!

Here's the backside!

OH NO!

I can't believe it!

 I dropped the wreath while I was taking a picture.

Not to worry, only one broke. It was one of the larger ornaments.

OKAY- 

Now I can show you how to fix your wreath if it happens to you!

First clean up your mess with a dustpan and brush- yes I was barefooted!

Bring the wreath over a trash can, use pliers to break away the small pieces of glass.

I was able to find another ornament to fit in the same spot.

I will try to be more careful!

Some of the old ornaments are more delicate than others.

I would not hang this wreath on a door that is used often,

but hanging on a wall will be fine.

When storing wreaths made with Shiny-Brite ornaments it is best to lay flat.

Before re-hanging check to make share none of the ornaments are loose.

It's best to store wreath in the house- not the attic,

temperatures that are too hot or too cold can affect the glue.

I am so glad I was able to fix my broken ornament!

Thank you for hanging out with me!
