The Williams-Sonoma catalog has such a great wreath this year for Valentine's Day. It's got all these really great Victorian-style cards and I thought it would be fun to try to make one with images from the '40s...so I found a Golden Book (remember Golden Book!?!) called Vintage Valentines and inside it is filled with press-out valentines, like what were swapped in elementary school! Some of them are even flocked.
...took a wire wreath form that's about 14-16" across, and some wide red ribbon:
...pressed the valentines out of the book (super-easy to remove, I never even had to use scissors at all) - these are just a few - and I there were so many that I still had several valentines left over after the wreath was all done:
...picked out the favorite Valentines out of the book and started placing them around, using hot glue to put them on. I put a dish in the middle of the wreath while I was gluing these on because I wanted to make sure that the cards left a nice round open shape in the middle with just a little variation here and there:
