What you need:

- One small wreath about 8" across OR Using cardboard, trace around a bread and butter plate. Cut out the middle within 1" of the outside edge.

- Stuffing and craft glue.

What you do:

From the chosen fabric cut 20 3" high hearts using pinking shears if possible. Cut a slit about 1" wide in 10 of the hearts. Putting wrong sides together, sew one heart front to one heart back around entire outer edge. Stitch about 1/4" in from outer edge. Poke stuffing through back of heart, stuff lightly. Glue hearts on wreath, making sure wreath is totally covered and all hearts are facing the same way. With ribbons, make a bow and glue to the top. Make sure glue is totally dry before hanging.
