For this project you will need:
Wreath form
Hot glue gun
Yarn (I used gray)
Two colors of felt (I used hot pink and light pink)
Scissors
1. Take wreath form, and hot glue end of yarn on form. Start wrapping your yarn around it. This takes a long time, so relax and watch a movie while doing it :)
2. Secure end of yarn on form with hot glue.
3. Trace heart template onto felt. I don't have a template since all forms are different sizes - just use whatever size heart will fit best :) Cut out hearts.
4. Hot glue the hearts onto wreath, alternating colors as you go.
5. Take yarn and start criss-crossing in front of hearts. This is time consuming too if you are a perfectionist like me :) Hot glue on back of wreath to keep in place.
And that's it! Now hang it on your door and enjoy! :)
I love this one, and I'm thinking this year I'm going to make a similar one for St. Patrick's Day, but with shamrocks...then I can use for Notre Dame football season too, right?! ;)

Love that wreath! Too cute! I'm excited to join the link up today!
ReplyDeleteI love this wreath! I bought the stuff to make it at the craft store last week, I need to make it this week and hang it up! So cute!!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I like how it kind of looks like argyle too. Adorable :)
ReplyDeleteI've made this wreath as well! Pool noodle - genius! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI've made this wreath twice and I love it....so simple but so cute! Thanks for the St. Patrick's day idea!
ReplyDeleteThis wreath is adorable.. I want to make one ;)
ReplyDeletePinning this for a craft with my daughter. I think we might use a ribbon to wrap around the wreath (to save time, 8 year olds don't have a lot of patience:)
ReplyDeleteI love how you formed this and it looks so simple, very inspiring. Rachel xo

Drink a glass of wine while doing the yarn ;)...it takes forever, but the finished product is worth it!

ReplyDeleteI've done ribbon/burlap wrapped and it works great! Great idea for kids :)

ReplyDeleteThank you! And thanks for joining in today :)
ReplyDeleteThe pool noodle is great - can hang with a Command hook since it isn't very heavy!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's pretty easy, but does take time if you're crazy about making it all straight/perfect like me ;)
ReplyDeleteI just started my St. Pat's one...I love that I can use it during football season too :)
ReplyDeleteI have this wreath and made it 3 years ago to! I am actually sharing a picture of mine tomorrow in a Valentines post so I mentioned you, your tutorial and added a link to your site for directions. I hope that is okay!
ReplyDeleteThanks Beth! I don't mind at all! :)
ReplyDeleteThis wreath turned out beautifully!!

ReplyDeleteI love this idea! I made my Valentine's Wreath a couple of years ago, but after getting it out this year, I realized I'm ready for a new one! I love your idea - so simple and cute! :)
