Difficulty level:Beginner
Time to complete:20-30 minutes

Supplies Needed:

Things to do:

  • Gather all your needed supplies and let’s get started! I went with the flat back styrofoam wreath to allow them more of a surface for the hearts to adhere to. The colors – I tired to find colors that would be close to the nostalgic candy, but feel free to choose any colors your wish.
  • Once the colors are picked out, start coloring away! Since i had only a couple colors, i choose to paint a few hearts in sets. I left the string on the hearts to allow me a surface to hold onto and allow me to paint the front and sides.
  • As the hearts are drying, i started wrapped the styrofoam wreath with my white ribbon. I wanted a more neutral color to no pull to much away from the hearts themselves.
  • I used hot glue gun to attached the ribbon to the wreath. Then simply wrapped and glued every few inches. This way the ribbon will not move around to much.
  • This is where i cut the strings off the paper mache heart ornanments. Try to cut the string as close as you can to the ornament.
  • Next, this is where the fun comes! Pick out those fun sayings from the iconic candy. When i was placing the letters on, i simply laid them on without pressing. This way i was able to try and get a leveled placement for each letter.
  • Once the hearts are ready – Let’s get gluing! This is where the wreath comes to live.
  • Before gluing the hearts, i laid them on the flat side of the stryofoam wreath. Placing them and getting the perfect placement to allow all of them to fit evenly. I left them laying on the wreath and started gluing each heart in its place.
  • Allow the hot glue to dry, then you are able to complete the final step to allow you to hang the wreath. Choose any ribbon, string or jute to hot glue or tye on the back of the styrofoam wreath.
