I saw this wreath over at Design Sponge and loved everything about it. But I took the idea and decided to make this felt heart wreath for my self.  It is the perfect Valentine’s Day Craft and although a bit time consuming…it really easy to make.

SIMPLE HEART WREATH IDEAS

This wreath is so easy to make but can be a bit time consuming. My hubby was recently out-of-town on business. So, over a couple of evenings I was able to watch some chick flicks and put together this wreath. I love how rich and textured it is. It feels luxurious and looks nice hanging on my front door.

HOW TO MAKE A VALENTINE WREATH

SUPPLIES NEEDED FOR HEART WREATH

  • Styrofoam Heart (heart-shaped wreath form)
  • 1 yard Felt (off the bolt)
  • Straight Pins
  • Scissors or a Rotary Cutter
  • 3 inch circle pattern
  • hot glue gun (optional)
You can find a heart wreath form at any craft store. I picked mine up at JoAnn’s (Michaels, Hobby Lobby and the Dollar Tree should have them too). Also, purchase 1 yard (off the bolt) of a nice “velvety” colored red felt which can usually be found in the fabric section of the store. I also picked up a package of straight pins. If you have a hard time finding a styrofoam wreath form you could use a wire wreath form or heart-shaped grapevine wreath and use hot glue to attach the fabric pieces.

INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE A HEART WREATH

Follow my step-by-step instructions to make a heart wreath for your home.
  1. I used a cup from my cupboard to make a 3 inch circle template.
  2. Then I cut SEVERAL 3 inch circles out of the felt. No I did not count them.
  3. Take one of the felt circles and fold it in half to make a half circle and then folded it in half again so it was in quarters. You can hold the bottom easily with a pinch between your fingers to hold its shape.
  4. Take a straight pin and pin it through the bottom of the point.
  5. Stick the pin at an angle with the felt into the styrofoam. The angle will help hold it into place.
  6. Repeat this placing each folded circle close together filling in the spaces.
  7. Continue the process for the whole wreath. Relax and watch a movie while you work.
  8. You will not need to do this on the back of the wreath. Attach a ribbon or small circle of yarn to the back of the wreath to hang it. I absolutely LOVE how it turned out!!

OTHER CUTE WREATHS

If you don’t want to make a heart wreath specifically for valentine’s day wreaths or make a wreath that is the shape of a heart, You can easily buy a form that is round or square to get the same look in a different shape. Then you could use the wreath for other seasons to decorate your home with.

OTHER HEART WREATH IDEAS

If you don’t love red or the look of this wreath, you can easily make a few simple adjustments to make it more your style. Here are some ways you can change up this wreath with these other heart wreath ideas.
  • add a bow
  • use burlap instead of felt
  • use strips of fabric or burlap and pin in place
  • sprinkle baby’s breath in between some of the circles
  • use paper flowers

    I have been looking for one of these, or at least the tutorial on how to make one. Thank you, thank you for posting this! I even hunted high and low at Target for one the other day. All they had was one covered in fake roses. Not the same…now this looks like a project I can do.
