STEP THREE

Randomly attach painted puzzle pieces to heart wreath base in a single layer with the glue gun and glue sticks.

STEP FOUR

Apply a second layer of puzzle pieces over top of the first layer.  Mix and match the colors and shapes to create an organic pattern.

STEP FIVE

Measure and cut a rectangle of white cardstock one-inch long and eleven inches wide.  Find the center and hand letter the message “Love You To Pieces” in pencil and then in red marker.  Cut a fishtail at each end of the cardstock with scissors.

Fold the ends into a “Z” pattern and attach the banner to the center of the heart wreath with the glue gun and glue sticks.

STEP SIX

Measure and cut a twelve-inch length of red and white baker’s twine and then glue to the back of the wreath to use as a hanger.

To finish, tie a bow with a second twelve-inch length of baker’s twine and attach to the wreath.
