I was going to title it "Easy Cheesy Valentine's Day Wreath," but I'm trying to cut down on my usage of cheesy this time of year. I tend to over-use it.
Anyway, I have had this basic plain vine wreath for quite a while. I bought it 50% off at Joann's, and then come each holiday I just stick something different on it. It takes maybe 5 minutes and makes the orange door even happier.
So here's our Valentine's Wreath. . .
What I did was:
I took some red embroidery floss and tied on a skeleton key and an old wooden heart I had lying around [that sounds funny] and tied them onto the wreath. Then I pinned on a little orange heart I needle-felted a couple days ago. Easy Cheesy! I mean easy peasy.
Ahem, yes. I am aware that the wreath is not longer centered in the "after" picture. Whoops.
You could make something very similar with a little heart-shaped button [they have them at Joann's], a skeleton key, and a heart cut out of felt. Or, if you want to try needle-felting, you can pick up a KIT and watch THIS tutorial on how to felt a heart.


Nawww cute! I wasn't even aware that people HUNG wreaths in the US for Valentine's Day.
ReplyDeleteOh I don't think it's an American tradition or anything ;). I just like having a wreath too much to take it down!
