The finished wreath can be used to make cards and other Valentine’s day decorations.
If you’re a beginner, you’re gonna love this tutorial. This method uses two basic shapes, an oval and a triangle.
We’ll use these shapes to make the basic heart design. It’ll serve as the base, the decorative bulk section of the wreath, and also the leaves. You can make all of this from one basic shape.
We’ll also use tips and shortcuts from my Inkscape Ready Set Go ebook.
