Make a Paper, Heart Shaped Wreath for Your Dolls

The Valentine wreath hangs over our doll's party table.

       This is the pattern for our doll's Valentine party wreath posted last year. Some of you wrote and requested we include it among our crafts this year. I've also included a link to the crafty mom at Youtube where I learned how to shape roses and include them on the abstract heart wreath. You may wish to visit her Youtube channel for more holiday ideas too. Just follow her web link below.

Supply List:

• decorative scrapbook paper or wrapping paper
• cardboard
• plain red paper for roses
• gold beads for rose centers
• hot glue gun and hot glue
• tacky white glue
• foil leaves
• pattern of abstract heart (printable pattern below)
• wooden toothpicks

Above are details of the wreath in progress.

 Step-by-Step Instructions:

• Cut a variety of circular shapes approx. three inches in diameter from red paper to make the roses. To see video about this process: visit the crafty mom here.
• Then make spiral cuts inside each paper circle.
• Wrap each spiral cut around the end of a toothpick, tipping the bottom ends of the edge of each paper rose with tacky white glue as you wrap. 
• Pull the paper flower from the toothpick and then hot glue a gold bead at each center. Set the roses aside for later along with the prefabricated foil leaves.
• Next print out the pattern below. Cut from it first the red outline of the wreath's trim. Trace around this onto decorative wrapping paper and cut the shape out.
• Now cut the inside pattern from the printable. This is in grey ink. Trace around this abstract pattern shape and transfer the pattern to cardboard.
• Cut the heart shaped pattern from cardboard and wrap it in the same decorative wrapping paper to give this wreath a bit of dimension. 
• Glue the smaller heart inside the lacy larger one. 
• Glue the paper roses to the corners of the wreath along with the foil leaves. (see sample below)
