Craft a sweet (and simple) Valentine wreath
Greet February (and your guests) with hearts and flowers! Presenting two easy Valentine's Day wreath ideas, made from simple things like muffin paper liners or scraps of ribbon. Both will add enough Valentine’s Day love to your front door to get you through this last chilly month of winter. Enjoy!
“Love muffin” Valentine wreath
Crafter level: Easy
Time needed: 2 hours
Celebrate the holiday known for sweets with this delectable muffin paper liner wreath.
NOTE: No goodies were harmed during the making of this wreath (but the elements might harm your finished wreath so be sure to hang it in a protected area).
“She-loves-me-knot” heart wreath
Crafter level: Easy
Time needed: 3 to 4 hours
About 40 yards of ribbon scraps, a heart-shaped wire wreath form and a free afternoon are all you need to create this easy and sweet front door decoration. We used about 18 different types of ribbon to make ours—wire-edged, ruffled, ruched—whatever we had on hand in seasonal colors. Simply knot the scraps of ribbon (6 to 9 inches long) to the wreath form until it's as full as you want it.
Tip: If you don’t have a lot of ribbon scraps, supplement with tulle. It really fills up space. Also, wide ribbon fills up more space than narrow ribbon. And to keep your wreath form from showing through the ribbons, spray paint it white or pink before you begin tying them on.
