Firstly, cut a 100 cm long and 16-18 cm wide stripe out of the garment-lining. <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/ugZ8grUfWm2T6Iv-jRS2aieUH_I=/4eb2b5d61abc4030847ffb3c34b4a728"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/ugZ8grUfWm2T6Iv-jRS2aieUH_I=/4eb2b5d61abc4030847ffb3c34b4a728" data-image="30699"></a></figure> 2. Now fold it in half lengthwise and stitch the seam manually or using sewing machine, so that you get a kind of a tube. Leave the tube ends non-sewn. <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/mkdN5FW1aaVfrLQKRpiI-0aS2pY=/98891b7b8fd14ae69c3697151a491187"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/mkdN5FW1aaVfrLQKRpiI-0aS2pY=/98891b7b8fd14ae69c3697151a491187" data-image="30700"></a></figure> 3. Turn the workpiece inside out and fill densely with the filler from both sides, using a ruler to help you tramp the filler down. You get something like a sausage. <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/bSdeHKHFnduR9IVnmyuFC4h8mV8=/7298576ebb554804b16ee3365887533e"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/bSdeHKHFnduR9IVnmyuFC4h8mV8=/7298576ebb554804b16ee3365887533e" data-image="30701"></a></figure> 4. Connect the sausage endings and sew them together manually. <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/B6DBt_3dVL2yuBmqe8Bim-K2IEE=/db0442bf56064f4cb19e235aa89ae788"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/B6DBt_3dVL2yuBmqe8Bim-K2IEE=/db0442bf56064f4cb19e235aa89ae788" data-image="30702"></a></figure> 5. As you can see, the workpiece does not keep its shape at all, so, you need to cut a ring from the thick cardboard with the diameter of about 30 cm. The edges of this ring should be about 2 cm. <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/ZnvNPuJQ7EVLCUJptIDZIDbsVoQ=/3b1638361cda44e3b601c4e848eb6a59"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/ZnvNPuJQ7EVLCUJptIDZIDbsVoQ=/3b1638361cda44e3b601c4e848eb6a59" data-image="30703"></a></figure> 6. Now glue tgis sausage to the thick cardboard with thermoglue. <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/9gTLg2pIu7XF1hQK1YMz1f9PbU8=/28107c13e4c945ba81b50622ab263467"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/9gTLg2pIu7XF1hQK1YMz1f9PbU8=/28107c13e4c945ba81b50622ab263467" data-image="30704"></a></figure> A basis for the door wreath is ready. Now you only have to decorate it nicely to give it a holiday look. <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/b9ygOH6X4WKdLVFfss4gniQqts8=/53c6deffdcbb43349a48dcbd9793e28f"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/b9ygOH6X4WKdLVFfss4gniQqts8=/53c6deffdcbb43349a48dcbd9793e28f" data-image="30705"></a></figure> <h2>Decorating The Valentine's Day Door Wreath</h2> 1. First, wrap the basis for the wreath in fabric. To do it, cut it in stripes, 5 cm wide and a meter long each. You will need 5 such stripes. <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/VBxxrEQCadsnFS67rRXznNths5g=/729a60ed8e71451e9daca7885351d12d"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/VBxxrEQCadsnFS67rRXznNths5g=/729a60ed8e71451e9daca7885351d12d" data-image="30706"></a></figure> 2. Then glue the end of a stripe to the back side of the wreath basis and start winding it around slightly diagonally. When the stripe ends, fix the end and glue the next one. <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/jAoU_xYPD9eLiA_AxMpMZHm-a_w=/8e196c085f104a2ca6e436e08166b55a"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/jAoU_xYPD9eLiA_AxMpMZHm-a_w=/8e196c085f104a2ca6e436e08166b55a" data-image="30707"></a></figure> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/NnMLwm-LIPpg87IYzSnOQEyBJwI=/e5dfc5f130af432a847f5d3eeb1372d9"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/NnMLwm-LIPpg87IYzSnOQEyBJwI=/e5dfc5f130af432a847f5d3eeb1372d9" data-image="30708"></a></figure> Thus you get a neat and almost perfect circle. <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/CHADRsqHAdgWaQjUjnckc8Z1fI4=/e29b5284aa984ae48224d53d36b3f2f6"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/CHADRsqHAdgWaQjUjnckc8Z1fI4=/e29b5284aa984ae48224d53d36b3f2f6" data-image="30709"></a></figure> 3. Now, take the band. You can choose a simple cotton band of creamy color. You will need about 1.5-2 m of it. Similarly, glue it to the back side of the door wreath basis and start winding it around the ring. <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/nHIBLrj3VgxypwMy4IHAIqfb5do=/8c81300f65aa4a31b14c9f6913f5c553"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/nHIBLrj3VgxypwMy4IHAIqfb5do=/8c81300f65aa4a31b14c9f6913f5c553" data-image="30710"></a></figure> Wind it in the direction opposite to the one you chose for the fabric stripes. Finish with gluing it to the back side. <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/5w06Ns-1DlHw-XpPYFa42tO8PX0=/120a403830304215a8e5c02bae58abe8"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/5w06Ns-1DlHw-XpPYFa42tO8PX0=/120a403830304215a8e5c02bae58abe8" data-image="30711"></a></figure> 4. After you are done with the primary decorations, get down to decorating it with hearts, flowers, twigs and beads. <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/UsC4FAmK6mUgLr3hJEpsHMdNork=/f007c7ae27064c7d919387fa014d6f55"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/UsC4FAmK6mUgLr3hJEpsHMdNork=/f007c7ae27064c7d919387fa014d6f55" data-image="30712"></a></figure> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/dlwaFhmTPeUtMf_zD2lAqh5lE2Q=/21712953e7f44c9cade0dcdb6b59f383"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/dlwaFhmTPeUtMf_zD2lAqh5lE2Q=/21712953e7f44c9cade0dcdb6b59f383" data-image="30713"></a></figure> 5. Glue hearts and flowers with thermoglue. <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/oZ46qIvucNjdlXOH6hPOfh6tycc=/e360f2794771415cba879c0e8f56bd55"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/oZ46qIvucNjdlXOH6hPOfh6tycc=/e360f2794771415cba879c0e8f56bd55" data-image="30714"></a></figure> 6. You may add short willow twigs with small cardboard hearts and cupids to the wreath decoration. Take figured punches, red paper or thin cardboard and press out about 10 pieces. <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/WvZfbut8ZpeRpTeiWX1kM3BoE2k=/eb71518e4a4245e8b571b730de584a25"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/WvZfbut8ZpeRpTeiWX1kM3BoE2k=/eb71518e4a4245e8b571b730de584a25" data-image="30715"></a></figure> 7. Glue these paper figures to the twigs to make a small bouquet. <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/11nI4VYLNgLoCRuXEGi6cmUlAmA=/5a15d83280d3443b87d9f585c8714aea"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/11nI4VYLNgLoCRuXEGi6cmUlAmA=/5a15d83280d3443b87d9f585c8714aea" data-image="30716"></a></figure> 8. Now glue the prepared twigs to the wreath with the same thermoglue. <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/QLvwkkCjXAagFVMdZkzU3GY87hc=/d730913399b046e6af2ef23ce471bd3c"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/QLvwkkCjXAagFVMdZkzU3GY87hc=/d730913399b046e6af2ef23ce471bd3c" data-image="30717"></a></figure> 9. Now you only need to make a loop for hanging the wreath and glue red beads. You may knit the loop with a hook, for example, using red thread. It is simple and you can easily do it. <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/o512qGPFl86ManhZVt9Rwr9raOY=/690bd83394d241f2b9c967d291e5e024"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/o512qGPFl86ManhZVt9Rwr9raOY=/690bd83394d241f2b9c967d291e5e024" data-image="30718"></a></figure> 10. Finish the decoration with red beads. <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/Ig1hidnhwUg9rxNWvjkfnmTTkwI=/b405f4529c0c4bd58dbba344b3aca9f6"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/Ig1hidnhwUg9rxNWvjkfnmTTkwI=/b405f4529c0c4bd58dbba344b3aca9f6" data-image="30719"></a></figure> Valentine's Day door wreath is ready.
