So…I made a Valentines Day Wreath. And you should too. Here’s why:
1. It’s Pink.
2. It will make you feel Valentiney.
3. It will make your mailman or mailwoman smile and wonder why you have a tutu hanging on your door.
4. It’s a daily reminder to your husband that you are a Valentines Day Person, you will be celebrating Valentines Day, and he is expected to celebrate (aka buy you gifts) as well.
I got my original inspiration and tutorial from the Our Best Bites Halloween wreath (click HERE to view the post and their really great tutorial). The only changes I made was the color of tulle and accents I used. I used 3 shades of pink–one light,one medium, and one sparkly fuschia. I did two knots each of the light and dark pink, followed by one knot of the glittery tulle, so the sparkle wouldn’t take over.
You can get rolls of tulle at your craft store. For a wreath this size, you will need 4 or 5 rolls.
I definitely advise using a SMALL Styrofoam wreath form…8 inches or so is plenty big because these wreaths DEFINITELY grow.
Remember those Conversation Hearts I covered in acrylic spray for my Valentines Day Centerpieces? I had some left over and I hot glued a few onto the wreath as an accent.
I found this flower pin at the craft store with all the ribbon and headband making supplies. You could hot glue any kind of flower though, or make your own from paper.
Isn’t that so cute and easy? It’s a bit time consuming (it took me over an hour to tie all the tulle…I just turned on a good movie while I sat and tied), but totally worth it. And if you’ve got a little girl, you can hang it in their room after Valentines Day.
Or if you don’t (like me) you can hang it in your living room. Your husband will loooove that.
Happy crafting!!
I love this
I did a wreath similar to this for christmas 2 years ago but used a metal coat hanger which I shaped into in a circle and tied strips of white plastic bag (recycled of course!) and did red ribbon every 4 or so bag knots, I then hot glued some red star beads I had on it and topped it off with a red ribbon (tied around the coat hanger hook which you twist to hang off your door). It took me around 2 hours but it was worth it and looked so good and cost me nothing 
I just found one similar to this on Pinterest that I am going to make! Yours looks awesome! Great job!
So adorable–I think I even saw tulle at my Dollar store. Yay!
Great idea!
I have seen so many DIY wreaths on Pinterest lately and I really really want to make one (once I decide :}). My only concern is how all the material (tulle, felt, ribbon, etc.) hold up in the weather (I’m in Colorado) and the sun. Does it fade or get musty from moisture? If someone could shed light on past experiences that’d be great. I’m dying to make one! Very pretty by the way!
Tulle does not fade. The mesh ribbon wreaths don’t hold up well though. Very disappointing…
I forgot to say, fabric, ribbons, felt might not weather well either. Ribbon that is meant for outdoors-still available in crafts stores from Christmas will weather okay though. I have 14 wreaths on the house for all seasons…I have learned! : )
How long are the tulle strips? I could not find this information.
And is the wreath flat or round? I got both as I can’t tell by the photo.
OMGosh, this is perfect for my daughter’s 4th birthday party (Pinkalicious theme)! Definitely going to have to give this a shot! Thanks!!
I wonder how it would look with a heart shape wreath. So cute–I am making one after I run to Michael’s!
This wreath is perfection. Absolutely adorable!!! It’s the cutest wreath I’ve seen.
So cute. I may need to make these for my girl’s rooms for the entire year!
When you say 4 to 5 rolls do you mean 6 inches at 25 yards or 3 inches at 25 yards? I made my first tulle wreath the other day and found that 6 inch strips were just too wide and cut them in half. This is all new to me and am finding the prices horrible! Do you have any tips on making ribbon flowers or flowers out of tulle circles? I love your tutorial thank you so much for posting it!
Thanks for the beautiful wreath idea! I made a purple and mint one for Easter. I used your website as the “craft of the day” on our Facebook day. Check us out at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Brushes-and-Thread/231012056980834
Don’t you just love Valentine’s Day decorations? I have so many projects I’ll never get to them all. I’m supposed to be working on Super Bowl Party food, but I’m making this wreath for my granddaughter first. Thanks!
