Unbend your wire hanger. And reshape it into a Heart. Alsounbend top of the hanger into a straight point. This part will plant the heartshape into the planter.

Insert your Heart Shape wire into the pot by planting it center into the Ivyplant. Push it deep enough to make sure it doesn't come loose.

Now carefully weave the Ivy around the wire shape. In time it will grow to cover the entire shape. Every few weeks weave new growth onto the Heart Shape.
