Valentine's Day Ribbon Wreath



I don't normally decorate for V-Day, but after I made those ribbon wreaths for Halloween & Christmas, I knew that I'd be making them for just about every major holiday.  They're just so dang cute and super easy to make.

I don't think I really explained how to make one before so I'll just do a quick run-through here.

Supplies:
Foam Wreath
  • Ribbon & ric-rac in various widths and in colors that match your theme.
  • One wide ribbon 1 to 2 yards long (for hanging the wreath)
  • straight pins (you can use hot glue, but I hate that stuff)
  • scissors
* I bought the heart in the center from the bargain bins at Target for $2.50 and I think it's perfect for this wreath.  I just pinned it's ribbon to the back of the wreath.

  1. Pin the end of a wider ribbon to the back of the wreath form, leaving gaps in between passes.When you have gone all the way around the wreath, pin the ribbon in place on the back of the form and then cut off the excess ribbon.
  2. Fill the gaps in with the rest of our ribbons and ric-rac.  To make this easier and to conserve ribbon, I do this part in pieces.  I pin the beginning of the ribbon to the back of the form, wrap once, then pin in back and cut off the extra.  Doing it this way also allows you space ribbon as you choose.

The back of your wreath will look like this, but who cares???

I'm seeing so many cute Valentine projects out in linky-land and I'm catchin' the bug.  This definitely won't be my last V-Day project.

    I think this is my favorite of your wreaths. That berry heart in the middle is a perfect addition.

    OH!!! I love this! It's adorable!! I know what you mean too! I got a GREAT response for my tissue paper Christmas trees. Not just in blog land and so I'm making everything I can with tissue paper!! I have a tissue paper V-day wreath right now that is getting a lot of great feedback! It's got me thinking "what else can I do with all this left over tissue paper!!" Thanks for sharing! :)
