First secure the three rolls of deco mesh onto the wreath with a pipe cleaner. I made it to where I had two pinks on the outside, and red in the middle. 
Gather your mesh about four inches, or however puffy you want, and secure with a pipe cleaner once again, until you get all the way around the wreath. 
Once completed, spread the deco mesh out so you can see both colors. 
Next, make a bow with your sheer red ribbon, and attach it to your wreath on the lower right hand side.
 After that is completed, start gluing on your bigger hearts first, then fill in any empty spaces with table scatter hearts.


                           

                                Valentine’s Day Ribbon Wreath





Materials:

Foam wreath form
1/3 of a yard of coordinating fabric for wrapping your wreath form (I found mine in my stash!)
Scissors
Straight pins
6 spools of 3/8″ ribbon, each containing 10 yards (I used 4 red with white polka dots, and 2 solid white.)

Directions:

Cut strips of fabric about 2″ wide, and use them to cover your entire foam wreath. Use straight pins to hold each strip in place. (Just use two at the start to anchor your strip of fabric down, wrap, and then put two more at the end. Repeat with each strip until the entire form is covered.)
                                         

Gather your curlicues that you’ve already baked and cut into about 4″ lengths.
Pin the first one to the foam wreath by placing pin right in the center of the curlicue.

                                            

Pin the next one in place in the same manner, placing it close enough to the first so that they start to force each other to fold in half.
                                                 

And repeat until it is completely cover and then you'll have a beautiful wreath.
