Romantic Valentine’s Wreath

In today’s post: Turn a plain nordic pine wreath into this rosy romantic heart shaped wreath. This is an easy Valentine’s Day craft you can complete in half an hour.

Easy DIY Valentine’s Day Wreath

I wanted to make a new Valentine’s Day wreath this year, but I wanted something a little different. I came across this gorgeous wreath by Cre8CherishedMoments on etsy and decided to use it as inspiration for a heart shaped wreath made from greenery. My wreath is quite a bit simpler than the inspo, but I like how romantic it feels – it almost gives cottage vibes, right?

Supplies

Here’s what you need to make this romantic heart wreath:

• Nordic Pine Wreath: I thought about starting with a heart shaped wreath form and wiring on a bunch of greenery, but then I realized it would be much easier to begin with a round Norfolk Pine wreath from Amazon.
• Faux Roses and flowers: I found the roses and flowers at Hobby Lobby. You can use any type of faux flowers or berries you like. You could also add additional greenery.
• Mini Felt Banner: I found this cute mini felt banner at Hobby Lobby.

How to Make a Heart Wreath

Shape the wreath form

When you first take the wreath out of the box, the branches will be flattened, so take a minute to fluff them up a bit. Then flip the wreath over so you can see the circular form on the back.

Bend the back of the wreath into a heart shape. The wreath I used stayed in a heart shape once I bent it; if your wreath doesn’t you may need to add some wire to help it keep its shape.

Add Flowers

When you flip the wreath back over, you’ll see that the greenery makes a heart shape. You’ll likely need to separate some of the branches, straighten some of them out, and bend others to make it look more like a heart. Once you like the shape, you can start playing with your florals to decide where to add them.

Once you’ve decided where you want the flowers, trim them and hot glue them into the wreath, tucking the stems in between branches. Add more hot glue to secure the flowers. You can also use pieces of floral wire to make sure the flowers are secure and won’t fall out.

Now it’s time to add a hanging loop. I cut off the original hanging loop of twine and then tied each end to wires on the back of the wreath as shown below.

Finally you can add any other embellishments or finishing touches that you like. I added a mini felt banner, but you could also add ribbons, bows, or little hanging hearts.
