Valentine Topiaries

I saw a heart wreath on The Idea Room and fell in love with it. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out a place to hang it. It wouldn't be a good idea to put it on the front door since it's made of felt pinned into a foam wreath form. But then later she posted a topiary using the same method. I knew I had to make two.



Love them.

Little Birdie Secrets has now posted a tutorial for the love garland here.

For the topiaries I used 1/2 yard of dark red felt. I used 3" foam spheres and 3" circles of felt, just like the tutorial. I have no idea how many circles I cut out, but I used the entire 1/2 yard. The pails are from the dollar section at Target.
