Vintage Style Valentine Wreath in 15 Minutes!

It’s always fascinating to get one item to decorate and see what a bunch of individuals come up with – don’t you think? Well, I’m participating in a Valentine’s Day Wreath blog hop . . . and I’m so excited to share with you my 15 minute vintage valentine wreath!

Me and a few other bloggers/designers got an AMAZING pink wreath base and were challenged to decorate it any way we like – so I chose to go with vintage valentines, felt/foam hearts, and a lot of hot glue. I will show you how quick it was to make!

One more thing: you know when a project is in your mind and it goes down perfectly on paper? That happened here. I’m just as pleased with it in real life as I was in my head. Don’t you love that?

DIY Valentine Wreath

Gather These Supplies

  • Pink wreath
  • Vintage valentines – I purchased mine from eBay
  • Felt hearts, glitter hearts, puzzle pieces, roses, etc – (from Hobby Lobby)
  • Hot glue gun

There’s nothing like pulling a 36″ wreath out of a box! Especially when it’s pink. I love pink wreaths.

Box of vintage Valentines

I knew that I wanted to have a vintage feel to my valentine wreath, so I ordered several vintage valentines on eBay. They were inexpensive.

Hand holding a bunch of felt hearts

I started with some large felt hearts . . .

Glittered red heart

. . . and then I had the glittered ones as well.

I figured out what I wanted to do with my wreath by experimenting, and that was layering. After putting a few flowers onto hearts and then standing back a bit, I realized I wanted to layer felt, vintage valentines, and flowers!

I also had some cute puzzle pieces to add to my valentine wreath too. I layered and worked my way around the wreath. Then I stood back and switched out some hearts and colors to float my boat.

Gluing the layers of the embellishments together

Once I had everything in the right place, I secured all of my hearts, valentines, flowers, and other embellishments down with my hot glue gun.

Adding hot glue directly to a branch

Then to adhere them to the wreath, I bent a branch a little bit and hot glued right to it.

Hearts glued to the wreath base

I repeated all the way around the wreath until my hot gluing was complete! This was seriously easy and only took about 15 minutes – can you imagine what it would have taken had I been a little bit more decisive?

My favorite memory was when my hubs decided to spend the day pampering me. Cooking for me, he had bought little snacks he knew I liked. He ran me a bubble bath, and said relax I got this you deserve some time just for you. Priceless! I know i'll keep him LoL
