Well it’s finally February the month for love! If you haven’t already it’s officially time to get those Valentine’s decorations out!
The other day I realized that I have been making different Valentine crafts for the inside of my house but my front door just looked really blah and boring. I didn’t want to do anything crazy or over the top so I thought a wreath for the door would be a perfect addition. I remembered I made a round rag wreath when I was a young girl and thought it would be fun to make a heart wreath using the same technique.
I just took a wire hanger and shaped it into a heart with a pair of pliers. You will definatly need pliers to do this. The hangers are hard to bend by just using your hands.
You will need 1 yard of material to make this wreath. I cut my material in 1 inch strips. I used my rotary cutter and mat board and it went really fast. If you don’t have a cutter and a mat scissors will work just fine.
After you have finished cutting all of the material into strips tie your strips one at a time around the wire until your wreath is full. I added some white tulle but if you don’t have tulle material will still be really cute. This wreath comes together very quickly just sit down relax and watch your favorite t.v show. I think you will be surprised how fast and easy it comes together. I love how it turned out it gives my door that little pop of color it needed!
Happy Crafting!
This is so cute. What a fun idea for Vday!
Thanks Vanessa!
is there a way I copy and print the instruction?
Super cute! I love how easy this looks.
Thanks Sydney! It’ s very easy and really fun to make!:)
Cute! How long are the strips of material?
How long are your 1inch strips?
You said to cut the fabric one inch width, but what is the length to cut?
Thank you
Can you tell me about how long your strips were?
I enjoyed making this wreath, but I used various wired ribbons, some one inch, some two or three inches. You can shape them this way. Still, it looks quaint and cute!
I know you said the width was 1 inch but how long is the material? Thanks for the idea its beautiful!!
That is totally up to you and how long you want it to be. You can start with like an 8″ long strip and see how it looks and adjust the size to your preference 🙂 Thank you!!!
