Valentines Day Wreath

01/26/2012 11 Comments

I decided I’d better buckle down and put up some Valentines Day stuff around here since it’s only a couple weeks away.  Although I didn’t want to spend any money on making a wreath since it will only be up for a few weeks.  So I didn’t.  I made this one for…..FREE!  A box + left over fleece from my “X & O” pillows + a glue gun = One sweet wreath! 

Here’s what I did. 
Step 1.  Find cardboard box in garage
Step 2.  Remove everything from that box that was destined for goodwill
Step 3.  Nicely put those removed items in a pile for your husband to now deal with
Step 4.  Draw a heart shape on your cardboard box & cut it out
Step 5.  Make felt flowers, seen HERE
Step 6.  Paint cardboard to match flowers
Step 7.  Glue flowers to cardboard, be sure to fill in all the spots
Step 8.  Glue on some ribbon to make a hanger for it
Step 9.  Hang wreath
Step 10.  Step back & enjoy it
It should look like this.

    I absolutely love this! I ‘made’ a wreath the other day but hate it, and have been wanting to try one out of cardboard. Now, I know what to do! Yours looks fantastic, and I also don’t like spending money on VDay decor. Thanks ๐Ÿ™‚
