As soon as the stores take down their boxing day signs, Valentine's day decorations will line with malls and before we know it we'll be heading into February full steam. We'll be rushing to find that perfect Valentine's day gift or instructions for that special craft. I know it seems a little early, but if you're feeling motivated and have scrap fabric hanging around from your Christmas projects, then get a head start on these fabric coated wire hearts. These make great door hanger decorations and such sweet little heart day gifts. Basically you'll take an old wire coat hanger and form a heart shape. You can cut it down to make them in various sizes. Cove it with fabric, attach a ribbon and you're done. It's a simple, attractive decoration that will look great in any space. Get your children involved and make some as grandparent and teacher gifts too.
Like so many of the best crafts, this one is a great way to use materials you already have around the house. If you finish making all the hearts that your heart desires and you still have piles of wire coat hangers, check out some of these other great uses for wire coat hangers.
