How do you tell a country girl you love her? You might try on this barbed wire heart drawing guide for size.
What does a barbed wire heart mean? Often, it is associated with rustic or rural farm life. On the farm, for example, your significant other might make you a heart of barbed wire simply because it is an available resource.
It is also used in home décor to indicate a love for the rustic lifestyle.

Barbed wire hearts can have another meaning as well. Some people may feel trapped in a bad relationship, or they may feel that their significant other is as sharp and prickly as barbed wire.
Other people use it to state that they "will remain in love regardless of the challenges he or she faces in a relationship."
The barbs, in this case, represent challenges like health issues, financial problems, or other external stressors.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing a Barbed Wire Heart
How to Draw a Great Looking Barbed Wire Heart for Kids, Beginners, and Adults - Step 1
1. Begin the barbed wire heart outline by drawing a link of barbed wire. Start with a barb. For each barb, draw three overlapping ovals. Then, draw a narrow curved triangle extending at an angle from each end.
Once you've drawn two barbs, connect them with two overlapping pieces of wire. For each wire, use two parallel curve lines that are roughly "S" shaped.

4. Finish the previous barb and draw another barb to complete the point of the heart. Use curved lines to draw a length of wire between them. Then, extend a curved line from the final barb at a different angle, beginning the remaining side of the heart. Remember, the wire itself must form the heart shape.
