Ok, so I decided I wanted something new on the door to celebrate Valentine's Day this year. I started out picking up a nice red flower out of the clearance bin at Michaels, needless to say, it didn't make the cut. I still like it, but its in my craft basket waiting for one of those "oh that would be cool" moments. What I did decide on was something simple and simple to make.
I found this simple heart with a little bling ($2.97)in the Valentine aisle at Wally World. While debating if this was really speaking to me it hit me , just add a little bit of classy bling. So I headed on over to the do it yourself bead/jewelry aisle.
Here I came up with this sweet little jewel ($3.00)! It's actually a great little pendant with just the right bling for my project.
I removed the little "hook" at the top so that I could run my wire directly through the ring at the top.
Next, I ran a piece of floral wire through the hole and used needle nose to twist.
My original idea was to push the wire up into the wreath. But I decided that hooking the wire to the wire loop already on the wreath would be quicker, easier and not run the risk of splitting the wreath. (Make sure the right side of the pendant is pointing to the front of the wreath)
After tightening the wire, clip the remainder with the needle nose and press back toward the wreath so it doesn't scratch your door or wall.
And there you have it ! Simple, elegant bling!
