Valentine’s Wreath

Yes, it’s another wreath. lol I love making wreaths! I saw a couple of versions of this one in the last few days and liked them so I thought I would make one of my own.

Materials:

  • heart shaped foam wreath
  • red burlap (I used a little less than a yard)
  • dowel
  • black felt
  • pins
  • ribbon for hanging

I cut the burlap into squares, I have no idea the size I just cut strips then cut those into squares.

I folded the squares in half and then in half again

Since I didn’t have any floral pins on hand I used straight pins and bent them into a U shape so the burlap wouldn’t come off.

Then I just put them into the wreath in rows.

After the first row was done I inserted the dowel (no picture of that) and finished my rows. Then I cut shapes for the arrow out of black felt and hot glued them on and added a black ribbon for hanging.

I love how it turned out!
