We all know that February is the month of love. It’s when you begin to see all the pink and red goodies at all your local stores. This year, I had an idea to create my own Valentine’s Day Wreath. This would be the perfect gift for not only your significant other, but also a great gift for teachers, co-workers, you name it!
DIY Valentine’s Day Wreath
For this, you will need simple materials:
- Foam Wreath
- You can also use floral foam and make your own heart shape with wire, but I chose the foam since it seemed like a faster option.
- Flowers from your local grocery store (Trader Joe’s is always my go-to)
- If using a foam wreath, a tip would be using flowers that have hard stems, so that you can directly insert into the foam without having to pre-puncture and glue in.
- A toothpick (to puncture holes in the foam for hard to place floral)
- A gluegun
- Chiffon Ribbon
Steps to making your own Valentine’s Day Wreath
- Find a clean surface to work on, and lay down Newspaper to keep your tables from getting dirty. With a glue gun, it is likely to get messy.
- Begin mapping how you would like the floral to go on the wreath
- Once, you have decided, cut the stems about .5-1 inch from the bud, and begin inserting into the wreath
- For the flowers with weaker stems, pre-puncture the foam with your toothpick first. Then, you can add glue to the bottom of the cut stem and place it in the pre-punctured area.
- Keep repeating above the steps until you have your completed floral heart.
- Get your favorite colored chiffon ribbon and hang it to any doors or surface you would like!
I hope this inspires you to create something beautiful for your loved one this Valentine’s Day.
