wednes-DIY: a "berry" basic heart wreath

i haven't decorated much for holidays other than christmas. but now that our christmas decorations are packed away ... our house is a bit sad & boring.

so ... bring on the valentine's day decorations. ♥ and today's {craft}ernoon: a "berry" basic heart wreath.

inspiration: this little heart wreath found on display @ the idea room.

{ps - visit the idea room for DIYs on her felt adorable topiary,
tissue rosette kissing balls & "be mine" frame}

supplies:
* a heart-shaped grapevine wreath. (about $3.99 at Michaels - or make your own!)
* red mulberry branches (right now you can find these @ after christmas sales. 70% off ... i spent 34cents per branch and used 6 branches)
* scissors

step 1) cut off the excess of the branch just below where the berries begin. starting at the center of the heart, wrap the berries into the grapevine heart.

step 2) cut the excess branch and use as twist ties to further secure the berry branches.

step 3) i finished by adding small sprigs of a bigger/darker berry and a bow to hang it.

voila* ... your very own "berry" basic heart wreath:

have any valentine's decorations worth sharing? i would love to hear about them!!! and i can't wait to share all of my other ideas. :) xo.

*wade informed me this morning that it's "voila" instead of "wah-lah". seriously! i knew that.
