This is a mixed media craft project combining wire, beads, embroidery floss and crochet. The heart shape makes a great applique for use on bags, purses or similar projects. It's a fantastic Valentine's Day project, but you could use it any time of year.

To Make This Arrangement:

• First, crochet a box shape to cover the block of floral foam.
• Then follow the easy instructions to create your arrangement.

Pretty up any craft project that would benefit from the addition of a dainty crocheted trim. This lovely trim features cross stitched hearts, plus lacy v stitches topped with picots.
