Paint some of the wooden hearts and letters X and O pink and set them aside to dry. Tip - use two wood skewers for support while drying.

Cut the pipe cleaners in half with wire cutters.

Cut the red deco mesh and the white deco mesh into 8" (20cm) lengths. Tip: The red, and white deco mesh ribbon will naturally curl and roll up, however, you want to roll either end in on itself to the center. (It kinda forms a heart shape.)

Cut each tulle color into 8" lengths and lay one of each color on top of the other in any order so you have 3 per bundle.

Loosely roll or gather up each of the colors in a bundle and pinch them together to form a kind of bow. With half of the light pink, red, and white tulle bundles, pinch the center and tie a pipe cleaner piece around it, twisting to secure. Tips: You can use a clothespin to hold the pieces together while you tie them up.

Cut the gingham ribbon into 6" (15cm) lengths.

Add a piece of gingham ribbon to the other half of the tulle bundles and tie it with a pipe cleaner as before.

With the white deco mesh, pinch in the middle to form an 'X' and tie it with a pipe cleaner.

Repeat step 8 with half of the red deco mesh pieces. Then add a gingham ribbon strip to the other half of them. With all of the deco mesh, ribbon, and tulle sections assemble you can now attach them to the wire heart wreath!

There are three rings on the wreath, as you feed the pipe cleaners through, flip over the wreath and twist the pipe cleaners to the rings. Alternate between the bottom two rings and the top two rings to completely cover the wreath. Also, alternate between the colors of the ribbon.

When the wreath is completely covered you can fluff out the pieces if you need to.

To attach the painted wooden hearts and letters and foam pieces if using, use hot glue and place them wherever you like.

Use a full pipe cleaner or piece of wire to create a loop for hanging and tie at the back of the wreath in the top center position. You can add more security to the loop by dabbing on some hot glue where it is tied.
