DIY: Valentine's Wreath

I know it's shocking, right?! I hardly ever do crafts. But my friend Rachel invited me over to make this wreath and I really do like to do this stuff, I just lack the motivation to get materials and actually do it most of the time. I accepted her invitation and even went to buy my first glue gun...ever. Is that ridiculous?!

And now...I love making wreaths!

I made one for my mom first and then made one for my own door.

It's so easy. You buy the wreath, tons of candy hearts and glue, and about two rolls of ribbon...


Wrap the ribbon all around the wreath and then glue the last end piece down...


Glue the hearts all over, facing in different directions. You could do it with the 'conversation' part facing up but I liked mine facing down so I could just use it for spring too if I want. Plus some of the words were blurry, yada yada.

Then let it all settled for a bit, peel off the strings of glue that get everywhere, tie a pice of ribbon around it to hang and then another piece make into a big bow around the first piece and....

This is what you get!


Cute, right?! I love it.
Some of the hearts have fallen off here and there but it takes no time at all to glue them back on and stick it back up on the door.

I'm already thinking of other wreaths I can make.

P.S- I know she has nothing to do with my wreath, but she is pretty dang cute so I can't help but post a couple pictures of my little darlin'!

CUTE wreath! Want to know a cheap trick? Instead of buying a foam wreath for 10 bucks... got to lowe's and get their foam piping stuff for $1... and you can get 2 wreaths out of it!
