Hi!! My name is Kaysi and I’m from the blog, Keeping it Simple

You can find lots of different kinds of crafts at my blog, home decor, sewing, refashions and more. One thing they have in common, they are very easy and simple! Anyone can make the crafts that I make!

Back in October, I made a Halloween wreath made out of candy corn. I love how it turned out and it was on my door for at least a month and I only lost about 6 candies, so I decided to make one using conversation hearts for Valentine’s Day.

This is how I made it:

1) I took a straw wreath, conversation hearts and electrical tape.

2) I wrapped the tape all around the wreath

3) Then I used hot glue and glued the hearts onto the wreath

4) I alternated the hearts each row

Here’s the whole thing covered. It took three bags (from the dollar store)

5) To protect the candy from the weather, I used a acrylic glaze

6) I sprayed two layers of the glaze onto the hearts.

7) I added some ribbon and hung it on my door

And just like that, I have a fun Valentine’s Day wreath!

Here’s a close up…. no more “call me” hearts now they say “text me”. Ha!

Thanks for having me Shannah! Feel free to drop by my blog anytime, I always love new friends!

Very cute! Conversation hearts are one of my favorite candies! But they have to be the soft kind.

Let's stay connected...
