Valentines Day Wreath

When I stumbled upon this wreath on Pinterest, I knew that I had to try and recreate my own version!  I have been loving everything burlap and am always looking for another reason to dress up my door, so this was just perfect!  As it turned out I ended up having all the materials already so the project ended up being quick, easy and free. Gotta love that!  Plus an added bonus was that I was able to finish the whole wreath during Tilly’s morning nap.  Makes you love it more, yes??

First, I untwisted 2 wire hangers and shaped them to form two halves of a heart.  I then cut about 3/4 yard of burlap into 3″ in strips and sewed the material onto the wire hangers.  After adding as much material to the frame as you want, twist together the two halves  to complete the heart. It would look beautiful just like that, with a cute ribbon tied to it.

I can’t get enough of the little rosettes, so it was a must to add some. To make my rosettes, I used lace, pink tulle, pink felt and a white & pink patterned fabric. I made a couple different sizes and hot glued them onto my wreath.  To complete my lovely flowers I secured them with a pearl tipped pin in the center of each bud.  So pretty!!

I just love this wreath, and there are so many variations that you can play around with! The only problem I have with it is that it is so gorgeous that I want it on my front door for the world to see, but I also want to keep it inside where I can enjoy it!
