Hanging Hearts

I've been working on a project for my front porch,
and for some reason I decided to take step by step pictures of my project.
This project is very simple:

Steps for Hanging Hearts:
Draw out a shape on a piece of wood and hammer nails along the path of the drawing.


After you have all your nails in take some wire and weave in and out of the nails.


Do several layers of this step, with each layer on the opposite side of the nail.


If you find yourself with your wire on the same side, circle around a nail and change which side of the nail you are weaving on, or just skip one nail to make it work.



After you have several like 6 or 7 layers, pull the wire off the nails.


Trim you wire with a long piece on the end and take that long wire and wrap around the layer of wire all the way around your shape to hold it together.



It will look something like this.


Then you decorate in any way that you want, I just added a small thin ribbon around mine.



I also spray painted a few, I found when spraying the red I had to do a coat of white first so that the red would show up.



 these are my heart hanging on my front porch.


I  also made an pillow like one I saw on pinterest to put on my front porch with my bench. 



Here is what my front porch looks like with my decorations for Valentines. I have more things I want to.
