Chic Decorative Heart

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:

1. Cut about an 18" length of copper wire.
    
2. 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.
    
3. Twist the two ends of the wire together - and shape the wired ribbon into a heart.
    
4. Create a bow from 3/8" wide pink velvet ribbon and secure bow to the tip of the heart with wire.
    
5.  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.
