Valentine's Ruffle Wreath

Last year for Valentine's I made a super cute Ribbon Wreath, 
which you can see HERE. I wanted to make another wreath this 
year for Valentine's and I really wanted to make a ruffle wreath, 
like the 4th of July one I did HERE
I feel like I am becoming obsessed with wreaths and I am not sure why. HAHA!! 

I got the supplies I needed to make the ruffle wreath I wanted. I had a round styrofoam wreath, but as I was in line to check out I found that someone had laid a heart styrofoam wreath in an odd spot, like they didn't want it, so I snatched it up. Its so perfect for what I wanted to do!

Here is my Valentine's Heart Ruffle Wreath:




What you will need:
-Styrofoam Wreath
-1 yard felt fabric
{I used about 3/4 a yard for the heart. If your doing a round wreath I would say you need
1 yard. May be a little more. I did mine a solid dark pink color}
-2 cases of pins
-A cup or something to trace circles with
-Pen
-Scissors


How I Made It:

First, I laid my felt out and traced what felt like 500 circles. Ok, not really, but a lot!


Then I cut them all out.


Next, I got comfy on the couch and turned on the Bachelor and pinned them to the wreath.

This is the technique I used when I pinned them in:


After I ran out of circles, I traced and cut more circles until it was complete. This took me a couple of hours to do-which also included breaks to give my hands a rest!

I pinned those on the top and sides, but not the back. Of course no one sees the back and this way it will lay flat.

When I got done covering the wreath, I got some silver sparkly ribbon and pinned that to the back of the wreath so I would be able to hang it up!


It turned out just the way I wanted it to be and am so excited to hang it up for the "Love Month!!"




What do you think of the heart ruffle wreath??

  2. I love it Jill! (You know I can't resist a good wreath project) So pretty! I did one of these before but with squares in stead of circles. The circles look much better!!
