Valentines Day will be here before you know it! I have been wanting to make a Valentines Wreath for weeks! Finally… I made one. And… here’s how I made it!
I got this idea from Tatertots and Jello. Her page has some great stuff! You really need to check it out!
This wreath was so much fun to make! I sat down with my Aunt Trish and we had one of our chatting/crafting sessions that we have not had in almost a year… I love those sessions. She always brightens my day 
Here’s what you will need to make the wreath!
An 8 inch stryofoam wreath, atleast 100 cupcake liners, a hot glue gun, glue sticks , and wide ribbon
First thing I did was wrap my wreath with the ribbon.
I started off by gluing one end and then started wrapping.
Make sure to wrap it tight!
After I wrapped the wreath with the ribbon I started adding the cupcake liners! I use a bunch of different cupcake liners for my wreath. You could use just one pattern or multiple like mine
I put my glue onto the wreath. Trish put her glue onto the cupcake liners. It's whatever pleases your heart!
I scruntched the liners up...
Then placed it on the glue! You have about 10 seconds to move it around some once you put it in the glue. (I know... I did it a lot! lol)
Continue to add the liners! I placed mine very close and tight...
FINALLY!
All filled up!
I decided to only cover the front of the wreath because I wanted the red ribbon to show. You can cover the inside and outside of the wreath if you desire!
In the beginning we decided to save the large cupcake liners for last… We wanted to use them for “accessories” to jazz up our wreaths lol (They are in the clear box in the picture of all the supplies… They definitely look bigger!)
We played around with them until we decided to put two of them together and make them look like a large flower…
My finished wreath!
Trish's finished wreath! I love hers! She siad she left a little more room between her cupcake liners to look like flowers... where as mine were tight together and looked more like lace.
We then used straight pens (just like you would in sewing) to secure our accessories to the styrofoam.
It worked Great! We liked it because it allowed us to move the flowers around and we did not worry about permanently gluing them onto our wreaths.
Lastly, we cut a piece of ribbon and secured it to the back! And… there you have it… a beautiful Valentines wreath!
I decided to not hang mine outside… it is hanging in my dining room in front of my mirror!
Trish had a surprise for me! She made me a table runner out of this:
It has gold glitter on it! Trish said she thinks it will go great with my gold mirror! I think so too
I can’t wait to finish decorating my table!!
I have to say there is nothing better than sharing time and a hobby with someone you love… Oh! and guess what!? She taught me how to crochet! I may be able to cross that whole learning to knit/crochet off the New Years Resolution list!!
