Valentine Vignette and Heart Pom Pom Wreath

I finally got my heart wreath done!  Michaels failed me.  Every time I called/stopped by, they never had heart wreaths.  Some employees said they were getting some any day, others said they weren't going to carry them.  So, whatever I ended up getting my styrofoam wreath at Hobby Lobby.  I am happy with how my wreath turned out.  After making my pom poms.   I hot glued them on to the wreath.  It took about 15 minutes to assemble.  The most time consuming part was making the pom poms, and that was easy and fun!  I am going pom pom crazy.  I may need to make one for St. Patricks day too! :)

This is the twelve inch styrofoam heart from Hobby Lobby.

Tips on Pom Pom Wreath:

When I make another one, I will use better quality yarn.  Mine was the cheapest and frayed easily.
I will also use sharper scissors.(it will help the yarn fray less)
I will trim my pom poms better and make them more even. I started doing this toward the end, and it makes such a difference.
Make sure to tie the yarn around your bundle TIGHT and right in the middle.

Cute wreath! I would go nuts making that many pom poms! They never seem to work out for me, and I've got two little bunnies just waiting for their tails... guess I'd better try harder!
Yours look great, as does the whole vignette!
Have a happy Rednesday!

BOY IN BRIGHT RED SHORTS

Boy in bright red shorts,
With a shirt of blue,
Strolling on the Malecón —
I wish I were you;

Carefree and content,
Nothing much to do,
Chillin’ in your bright red shorts
And your shirt of blue.

Your wreath turned out really cute! And I'm happy to know that I can get a styrofoam wreath at HL. I want to make a Valentine wreath using red Christmas balls, but didn't know what I was going to use for the form. Thanks for the heads-up!
Happy REDnesday,
Carol
