DIY Heart Wreath Ideas & Tutorials:

Felt Heart Wreath: Start by cutting out various sizes of hearts from felt – reds, pinks, and whites work best. Once you have a good amount, begin gluing them onto your heart-shaped wreath form. Overlap the hearts to create a full and festive look. This sweet and tactile wreath is a true expression of love!

Burlap Heart Wreath: For a rustic, farmhouse vibe, opt for a burlap heart wreath. Take a long strip of burlap ribbon and start wrapping it around your heart-shaped wreath form, ensuring no part of the form is visible. Secure the ends with hot glue. For an added touch, consider gluing a few faux flowers or a small “Love” sign to the front. Burlap makes a great farmhouse decor. You could also use nautical rope.

Yarn-Wrapped Heart Wreath: Choose a soft, thick yarn in a Valentine’s Day color like red or pink. Start at the top of the wreath form and begin wrapping the yarn tightly around, making sure none of the form shows through. Continue until the entire form is covered. You might add small felt hearts or other decorations as finishing touches.

Fabric Scraps Heart Wreath: For this DIY heart wreath design, cut your leftover fabric into strips. Tie these strips onto the wreath form, pushing them close together to ensure a full and fluffy wreath. This is a great way to recycle fabric scraps and create a colorful and eco-friendly Valentine’s decoration.

Rose Heart Wreath: Craft several roses from paper or fabric. You can do this by cutting out a spiral shape and rolling it tightly, then releasing it slightly to create the ‘bloom’. Hot glue these handmade roses onto your wreath form, covering it completely for a beautiful, blooming heart wreath.

Pom-Pom Heart Wreath (Image Below): Create small pom-poms from yarn – you can find many pom-pom tutorials online. Once you have a substantial number, begin gluing them onto your wreath form. Make sure to keep them close together, so the form doesn’t show through. The result is a fluffy and whimsical wreath that’s sure to catch eyes!

This technique results in a fun, festive wreath that’s as simple as it is beautiful. This DIY heart wreath would be adorable for a baby shower.

Feather Heart Wreath: Purchase colored feathers from a craft store. Using hot glue, attach these feathers to your wreath form, covering as much as possible. This creates a soft, unique, and tactile wreath that’s sure to be a conversation starter.

Button Heart Wreath: Dig out your spare button collection or buy an assortment from a craft store. Glue these buttons onto the wreath form, ensuring to cover all areas. This results in a quaint, vintage look that’s as charming as it is unique.
