Valentine’s Day Wreath made with Dollar Store Items

I decided I wanted a Valentine’s Day wreath this year.  I wasn’t sure exactly how my wreath would look, I just knew I wanted it to be big, bold, and red!

I headed to Dollar Tree and just started picking up red Valentine items.  I liked the sparkly garland, and the heart picks were too cute to pass up.  I had a ton of red ribbon left over from Christmas, and some wood heart frames I had purchased at Michael’s.  I looked at my collection for several days, still not sure what to do with it.  Finally I started playing with my supplies, and I wound up with a wreath that I absolutely LOVE.

Supplies used to make the Valentine’s Day wreath:

• Foam Wreath form
• Wire edged red ribbon
• Valentine garland
• Heart Picks
• Wood heart frame
• Puffy Heart
• Sticker

Step one:  Wrap the wreath form with ribbon. Paint the heart shaped frame.

Step two:  Cut the wire garland into 24 inch pieces.  Wrap one end of wire around the wreath form, and coil the rest into a loose spiral.  Repeat.

Step three:  Cut the wire edged ribbon into 32 inch strips.  Attach it to the wreath form by doubling the ribbon, and pulling the ribbon ends through the loop.  Repeat.

Step four:  Slide the ends of the heart picks into the base of the ribbon loops.

Step five:  Glue the wood heart to the front, and attach the puffy heart with a ribbon.  Add a cupid sticker (optional).

Step six:  Curl the ends of the wired ribbon in different directions.

Isn’t this a fun wreath?  If you don’t care for my red/gold combo, you could easily make it white/pink or any other colors that say “Valentine’s Day” to you.  Have fun crafting and creating!  Check out more of my Valentine tutorials by clicking HERE.
