Hearts made from rustic floral wire are wrapped with yarn and hung in the window for Valentine's Day.
To make these you will need: rustic floral wire (available in the floral section of any craft store – it's like wire wrapped in craft paper), wire cutters, yarn and scissors.
Clip off a length of floral wire and bend into a heart shape; twisting the ends together to secure.
Tie yarn onto heart.
Pull yarn across heart, wrap around wire and pull yarn across to the other side.
Wrap yarn securely so there is no slack.
Tie a knot and cut yarn with enough length for hanging.
You could also tuck a note inside and give it as a valentine.
So so so cute!!! My girls and I will be making these!!!

Jamie @ hands on : as we grow
Thanks Jamie! This is definitely an easy craft for a wide range of ages – glad you like it
Take Care, Camilla
This is great! I would love to try this!
Hi – these are too cute — I had a go but had trouble getting the yarn to stay where I wound it, any tips?
thanks
Hi Trudi! I wrapped the yarn around tightly – held it in place by pinching it with my fingers until I wrapped it around on the other side. This method held the yarn in place. I hope this helps. Let me know how it turns out. Thanks for your comment!
Take Care, Camilla
Thank you for this. I have a new boyfriend (Yay!) and these would be perfect for valentines day in a couple of months
Xxxxx
Luv these! Will definitely be making them for our kitchen windows!
So cute! I’m going to have my second graders make these and put them on a wooden stand. They will give them to the senior center in town for table decorations.
I thought these hearts were so great. i cna’t wait to make them with my boys when they get older. I featured them on my blog post today.

I don’t recognize this floral wire. The one I familiar with looks like twist ties in a continuous length. What is this stuff you are using?
wooo!!!!!!
Love this project, I would love to make this with my girl scout troop, Do you know how much of the floral wire and yarn you used for each heart? I would hate to not have enough.
Kimberly, Such a great idea – this is perfect for a GS activity! I would estimate about 16″ in floral wire and about a 1 to 1.5 yards of yarn for each heart. Hope this helps – best of luck, C
Thank you so much! I can’t wait to make these !
What a neat idea! I featured it in my Valentine Round up this past Wednesday…http://estherscardcreations.blogspot.com/2012/02/valentine-round-up.html
Thanks so much for sharing!
We are making these with our high school Career Lab class of Special Needs students for decorations for our Valentine’s Day party! SO FUN!
this turned out wonderful! going to hang them in the window:) eeeek Valentines day tomorrow!!
Just came across these on Pinterest. Love how they look!
I <3 your hearts. Thanks so very much.
Belle Bébés featured this awesome tutorial today
Either I am too clumsy or too amateur. The yarn is not that secure to their position. I put a few drops of superglue to make they do not slide off their position
