After Christmas, Valentine’s Day is the next holiday, and I don’t know about you, but I take my Christmas decorations down fast, but I hate to have an empty door. So making this Valentine’s Day Wreath was the perfect project. It is also a cheaper project (but doesn’t look that way) as I got all the supplies at the dollar store. This project is similar to my DIY Christmas Wreath also made from dollar store supplies, the concept is exactly the same, except it is a heart frame not a circle.
Step-by-Step Video Tutorial
Follow the video or step-by-step below to make your own.
Wreath Supplies
- Glue gun and glue
- Dollar store HEART wreath form (you’re going to use the plastic form underneath)
- Assorted plastic ornaments (multiple sizes)
- Tinsel to fill in spaces (use the pink tinsel you removed)
Valentine’s Day Wreath Instructions
- Decide on a colour scheme when you buy the ornaments. I went for pink, silver and white. But to be honest, there were leftover from Christmas and I had to put pink glitter on some of them to make it fit the theme. Which was annoying, but at least I could use the supplies I had.
- Remove tinsel from wreath form, unravel it from plastic heart base. It will look like the below once removed. Do not discard the tinsel, you’ll need it for later.
- Start gluing the bigger ornaments on the inner and outside of the wreath form. You don’t have to do a pattern, but mix it up so all the pinks or silvers aren’t beside one another.
- Continue to glue the larger ornaments on the outer heart.
- Glue the larger ornaments and begin to fill the spaces with smaller or medium-sized ornaments.
- When most of the space is filled weave the pink tinsel you removed in between the balls to fill in the gaps. This is to make the wreath fuller.
- Continue to embellish the wreath until you have the desired effect.
I’m so happy with how this DIY Valentine’s Day Wreath turned out, It’s perfect for some love during a snowy and rainy February.
After the winter make a wreath for the spring, using my DIY Floral wreath tutorial.
