Welcome to 2013!!
It's my first post of the year and I've got a Valentine's Day post! So, let the love fest begin!!
I've had a yarn wrapped wreath gathering dust in my craft room ever since I made it and decorated with these bottle cap and button flowers. I took off the flowers and every holiday I look at it and think, "I really need to use that wreath" and never do. Until now!!
I used a few red/white twisted pipe cleaners and sparkly heart "table scatter" from the dollar store to make this adorable easy Valentine's wreath!!
To make the pipe cleaner rosettes, twist the pipe cleaner in a spiral, hot gluing it in several places as it is twisted. My pipe cleaners came twisted together but if you can't find them, simply twist red and white pipe cleaners together!
Hot glue the rosettes and sparkly hearts to the wreath, add a bright ribbon and hang it up! I love the use of very basic and inexpensive supplies - pipe cleaners & sparkly hearts - to create something so fun and perfect for Valentine's Day!!
Need a few more Valentine's craft projects? How about ...
This project or recipe was shared at all the blogs on my Link page! Go take a peek ... they rock!
Oh my cuteness! I love it...I so need to get on the Valentine's ball!
ReplyDeleteAH! Those pipe cleaner roses are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! Pinning this right now!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of using pipe cleaners for rosettes. So much easier for kids to do too! I've got my Valentine's ideas all in my head, but nowhere near started yet! Go you!
ReplyDeletesuper cute, I might try to do a red/white rosette with hearts situation to replace my Christmas arrangement on my burlap wreath :) thanks for sharing the super cute idea!
ReplyDeleteKeri this is sooooo cute!! Pinning for sure :) I would love it if you linked this wreath up to Pretty Things as well!!

Love this project and its beautiful simplicity. Where did you purchase or how did you make the actual yarn wreath?
ReplyDeleteIt really is just yarn wrapped around and around and around a foam wreath form ... inexpensive but it does require some patience :) My actual tutorial is here: http://www.shakentogetherlife.com/2011/05/fin-de-friday-upcycling-free-to-fab-4.html
DeleteThis is adorable. I am including it in my link party features tomorrow.
