easy diy Valentine wreath for the craft challenged or crazy busy
Valentine’s Day is different when your kids outgrow the tradition of Valentine cards and parties. I now send my kids one of these for Valentine’s Day. I admit the addition of pink to the decor after the holidays is refreshing and gives a glimpse of the spring season.
Here is a super simple wreath that requires very little time, money and effort.
SIMPLE VALENTINE WREATH
VALENTINE’S DAY DOOR WREATH
Wreath Elements:
- grapevine wreath
- paper hearts
- ribbon
I loved the simplicity of this wreath. I loved to work with grapevine wreaths. However my original version. I think I had too many layers on the wreath when I added a smaller wreath to the center of the grapevine.
was a bit of a disaster. My vision of a petite and dainty wreath were replaced with a bulky and chunky vibe. Not the look I wanted for Valentine’s Day or a month into these simple steps to lose the holiday love handles.
Let’s just say my original wire hanger wreath went sideways from there.
VALENTINE’S DAY WREATH
So I went with a chunkier grapevine wreath with silver accents (I bought it years ago on clearance at Target). I found this one on Amazon.
I found these adorable Valentine cutouts from the Dollar Store and these hearts.
Baker’s twine was the perfect weight to attach the pink and white hearts. From there, it was easy to thread the hearts through the grapevine.
I draped it over the grapevine wreath like a strand of garland- tucking it between the branches.
My plans to hang my Valentine’s Day wreath on the front door were derailed when the wind tossed the paper-thin hearts and the threat of snow would lead to a broken hearts party on the porch.
With snow in the forecast, I relocated the wreath to the Dutch door in the kitchen.
So even though my wreath did not end up where it began I do love it.
But, I think I might have to paint the Dutch door pink. #wink
Thank you for stopping by today. Here is another fun Valentine craft you may enjoy!
Such a charming wreath. I need to head to the Dollar Store!
So pretty and dainty! The dogs don’t bother it there? I love your Dutch door!
Those hearts are adorable. Your wreath is super cute. The silver accents are perfect. I love Dutch doors and would love to have one.
Sweet wreath Laura! Mine had some mid-design issues as well LOL! Doesn’t that always happen when you’re part of a roundup? I love the silver and the pink and I totally think your Dutch door needs to be pink!!
This is such a sweet and simple little wreath! You could us it almost anywhere. Thanks for the inspiration!
I laughed out loud at your description of the petite wreath! LOLOLOL. Your wreath turned out adorable. And I want a dutch door! Glad you stuck with us this year. Pinned.
The pearly-look base you used is so pretty, Laura… white beads are perfect for a Valentine wreath!
I love the way you added the pearl garland to your wreath, Laura! Pearls and lacy hearts always make me think of Valentine’s Day. Lovely combo!
Your wreath is so pretty! Those heart cutouts you found at the dollar store are perfect on it! Well done!
Your wreath turned out so pretty, Laura! I love the combination of the pearls and pink hearts. The wreath looks great on your dutch door and is in a spot where you can see it multiple times a day to enjoy it.
Way to be flexible, Laura! You’ll enjoy it more inside than you would on your outside door, anyway. Those hearts are so cute with the cutout edges; great combo on the wreath:)
Hi Laura! Awww, I really like your Valentine’s wreath on the Dutch door!! It is really cute with the paper hearts and the way each lays reminds me of how grapevines grow out in vineyards. Really fun!!! Nice to see you again (since I’ve missed the last couple). <3
Enjoy your wreath and happy decorating for Valentine's Day,
Hugs,
Barb 🙂
Sweetest wreath ever Laura with the pearly beads and the pretty hearts! Love the way it turned out and how it looks on your Dutch door! Pinning!
Such a sweet look for a Valentine’s wreath, Laura. Love the doily hearts. Updating older items we have is always a great idea. Happy Valentine’s.
