Simple Valentine Heart Wreaths

My daughter was home from school yesterday.

She wanted to have a girls day out and shop but the temperature was 6 and the windchill was -14.

I am no one turn down a day out shopping, but when it is that cold I don’t  go out anywhere, not even to shop!

Instead we stayed home by the fire and did a little crafting.

I wanted to make something for Valentines day.

I really don’t decorate for that holiday, but thought it would be fun to make a few heart wreaths.

Since we were stuck inside, I only used what I already had on hand.

I had some scrap muslin, some dizzy frizzy.

I found the dizzy frizzy at the thrift shop for .50.

I knew when I found the dizzy frizzy that I would figure out a fun craft project to use it for.

This craft is  so simple, I  just took some wire and made heart shapes.

With one of the heart shaped frames I took pieces of muslin that I cut 1/2 inch strips,that were ripped, and just tied the strips  around the whole wreath making knots.

You can use pieces a little larger, but don’t make them too big.

These strips are about 5 inches long.

But don’t measure, it’s more interesting if these are not perfect and slightly different lengths.

I love how frayed the muslin looks.

Using the dizzy frizzy I just cut pieces off and tied these around the whole wreath.

Again no specific lengths, and I cut these off as I went along.

This is the wreath with the dizzy frizzy.

I love how soft it looks, I hung this on an old door piece from an old farm cabinet.

Here is the muslin wreath, It has a feathered sort of look to it and I just adore it!

    I love your wreaths! They are adorable! I used to decorate quite abit for Valentine’s Day, but I haven’t so much in the past few years. Not sure what I’ll do this year…maybe just a simple vignette on my dining room table. xo

      Thank you so much Laurie.
      I don’t know how much I used.I was cutting it up as I went along.If I had to guess it was not even a half a yard of fabric.And it depends how fluffy you want it.

    I love how those turned out! So cute! I’ve never seen those before. I don’t usually decorate for Valentines Day. Maybe because there are nothing but boys around my house. If I had a daughter (like you) I would probably be more inclined to do that. I like where you hung your wreaths too.

    • Anne says

      Thank you Kelly! At first I was just planning on using these wire hearts all on there own.But since we were home I had a thought of what they would look like if I did this and what about that.Valentines day decor is not really big around here.But I think these are sweet even after Valentines day and so easy too!

    Anne,
    These are really adorable. I love them both and they look really great on the old doors. Perfect type wreath for those old doors. I think it is so sweet you and your daughter spent time yesterday making them together.

    How pretty Anne! I love them hanging on the old doors. It’s really cold here today and it looks like the cold is here to stay for a while. I’m not complaining because our weather has been very mild up until today. Hope you have a wonderful day, Gail

    Darling. Very simple and cute! I don’t decorate much for Valentines Day either, not since my kids were very young, but I would love to have a few subtle pretties like these!

    XO,
    Jane

    • Anne says

      Thank you Jane!Yes this was very simple to do!I used to do lots of red hearts and things around the house when my daughter was little.I no longer have to do that 🙂

    Well, I have never heard of dizzy frizzy, but I just may have to find some- I adore your wreath, and the muslin one is lovely, too! I don’t really decorate for V Day, but who knows, I may throw a little project together at the last minute. Maybe a dizzy frizzy one! 😉

  25. Robin says

    How adorable. I like both verisons. The look so nice haning on the door and the planted wall.

    I was doing a little crafting yesterday too! Nothing as cute as this, but it seems like it must have been the day for it.

  26. Jeannie says

    LOVE the linen heart!!! I may have to commission one from your “child” labor!! If you don’t mind, i would like to suggest this idea {on a smaller scale} to Tate for her class’s Valentine’s Day project..the moms would love them!

    I love both of your wreaths. They are so pretty. What a great time to spend with your daughter. We have been having freezing temps here, too. Can’t wait for a warm up.

    Your wreaths are fabulous! I don’t know which I like better – they are both wonderful. I have never heard of dizzy frizzy. I’m going to have to go out and get me some. Thanks for showing us.

  41. kadee says

    Next time I see this yarn I will most certainly pick it up! It looks gorgeous and keeping my fingers crossed on the contest you entered this in! And the muslin is just as lovely! I was wondering… what if you tied it a soft shade of pink before creating it? Just a thought……

    Anne,
    How exciting that Anita interviewed you for her Back Porch Interview series. I can’t wait to hear your news that is still under wraps.

    Your two white home-made Valentine’s wreaths are just so creative and so pretty.

    This is absolutely beautiful and easy. I think I may use this idea for entrance door hangers at my February Wedding. I think it looks wintery and snowy, appropriate for a winter wedding. Can’t wait to go find that dizzy frizzy!

  51. Valerie Boudreau says

    That wreath is all kinds of sweet. What are its dimensions and much Dizzy Frizzy did you use? I found some online and am wondering how much to order.

    Thank you for sharing,

    Val
