Wooden Valentine Hearts

I had the cutest little wooden wreath made of hearts that a friend had given me last year for my Birthday. When I was decorating using all of my Valentine decor. My wreath somehow got broken.  I didn’t know how to repair it without it looking terrible so I opted to pull the hearts off and re use them.

I  took 2×4 wood and cut it into 4 different 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ square blocks.  I sanded the edges then drilled holes in the center of each block to fit a 3/8″ dowel.   I cut one dowel into  4 pieces making 2 of the pieces 6″ long and the other 2 pieces 9″ long.  I glued each dowel into the center of the wood blocks where I had drilled holes.  So they ended up looking like this:

This is where the real fun begins.  I painted each wooden stand black then glued the left over hearts from my wreath onto the dowels. I added some red glittery ribbon and then they were ready for display.  This project took less then an hour from start to finish!
