This Chic Decorative Heart is easy to make, and has a ton of uses. It can be a napkin holder, a gift topper, a tree ornament, and and in a pinch go anywhere that you need a touch of shabby chic decor.

Materials:

24 gauge copper wire
7/8" wide sheer ribbon
dried rosebug

Instructions:

Cut about an 18" length of copper wire.
Begin to weave the wire in and out of the sheer ribbon, about a 1/4" from the top of the ribbon. I used a 7/8" wide sheer ribbon. Continue weaving the ribbon until you develop a nice ruffle.
Twist the two ends of the wire together - and shape the wired ribbon into a heart.
Create a bow from 3/8" wide pink velvet ribbon and secure bow to the tip of the heart with wire.
Add a dried rose bud to the velvet ribbon with a small piece of wire.

You can vary the ornament's look with different kinds of sheer ribbon and other tiny decorations.
