DIY Felt Heart Wreath For Valentine's Day

Whip up a bright and cheerful felt heart wreath for Valentine's Day with this quick, easy and inexpnsive DIY.

It's a darling decor accessory anyone can make in under 30 minutes.

February is traditionally a month about hearts, flowers and the color red.

All which is right up my alley.

Especially that red part.

However, when I saw these pastel colored, felt conversation hearts, my dedication to red went right out the window.

Oh sure, there were a lot of crimson and pinks peppered into the pack, but I fell hard for those pops of turquoise.

And immediately knew they'd look great on wreath.

Of course, before I got around to making one, I did take a little detour and featured them in my DIY Valentine lamp.

It was super cute, and for a few days it really did light up my house.

But now those hearts are lighting up my cottage in a totally different kind of way.

How To Make Felt Heart Wreath

It's a whimsical addition to your February decor and one you can whip up in minutes.

Supplies:

• Foam wreath form - 10 inch (Dollar Tree has them for $1.25)
• Multicolored felt conversation hearts (2 packs) - I bought mine, but you can make your own
• Hot glue gun and sticks
• Ribbon
• Pins
• Finger protectors - not necessary, but certainly helpful
  
  

The Step By Step Instructions:

The steps are super easy, especially if you eliminate my first step...

...which was mapping out my wreath to make sure I had enough hearts to make it all the way around my wreath form.


You see, I'm trying to use up what I have on hand, when possible, and this green, foam, floral ring has been in my stash for ages.

It looked like the right size, so I gave it a shot.

I began by pinning the largest hearts to the foam, in four opposite sides from one another.


Then I filled in the rest of the spaces with smaller hearts, paying attention to the colors and styles for variety.

The original plan was to make sure everyone fit nicely, then start all over. 

But.

My design looked so good, I wanted to keep it exactly as it was, so that's what added a little more time. Had I known I had enough hearts on hand to cover the entire form, I would've started here:


Gluing ribbon around the foam wreath base, to make it look pretty.

I was still able to do that, it just took a little longer, because even with a photo of my design to guide me, I was unpinning hearts, wrapping and gluing ribbon and then repinning my hearts.

All the way around.

I will say that with my new fingers protectors, for the first time in years, I didn't burn one finger with the hot glue.

Or stab myself with a pin.

Amazing. If you've never tried them, I highly recommend you do. Game changer.

Ok, so where'd I leave off? Oh yeah, gluing the ribbon. Once that was done, I started hot gluing the hearts in place.

That job was much easier. I just unpinned them, added the glue, pressed down and moved on.


For some of the larger hearts, I did pop a pin in them to secure them while they were drying. Just to be safe.

Again, I consulted my photo and worked my way around the wreath until every last heart was glued in place.

Then I added a bow on the front.


A little ribbon loop on the back. 

And hung my happy wreath up.


For Valentine's Day.

With hearts, flowers.

Lots of red.

And a little bit of blue.

Perfect.
