Stunning Heart-Shaped Mesh Wreath for Valentine’s Day

Learn how to make a valentine mesh wreath shaped like a heart! This deco mesh valentine wreath is perfect holiday decor for beginners.

Skills Required: None. You’ll be cutting mesh, rolling it, and attaching it to a wire form with pipe cleaners. It’s easy to put this Valentine’s Day wreath together because the colors are random.

I made a lot of mesh wreaths this past holiday season. You could say it was a bit of a “mesh-splosion” around my house. After I made several wreaths for the holidays, I decided I wasn’t out of wreath making mode.

And to be honest? My Valentine’s Day wreath making attempts have been kind of lame in the past. Or let’s just say, I could’ve done more.

There was the vintage style Valentine’s Day wreath I made, and I love that wreath. But you can see from the tutorial, it didn’t take a lot of effort on my part.

So I decided it was time to show you how to make a deco mesh valentine wreath from scratch.

Don’t get me wrong, this wreath is very easy! Yes, I put a little more effort in than prior endeavors, but it’s still perfect for beginners. It does take some time, but put on a movie. You’ll see how relaxing it is.

You’re going to make this project in three easy steps. You’re going to cut the mesh, then cut the pipe cleaners. Then you’re going to attach the mesh to the wire form. That’s it!

Mesh to Use

A few notes because mesh comes in different widths: this uses 6″ deco mesh. Depending on the craft store, you might only find 10″ rolls or wider.

If needed, you can cut down the mesh horizontally as well as vertically. The wreath does look a little bit more frilly.

Where to Get a Form

You don’t have to use a heart wreath form, but they are pretty cute in my opinion! You can get them at the dollar store if you’re lucky. They get sold out pretty quickly though.

You can use a round wire wreath form the dollar store if you want to keep the project inexpensive and you don’t care about the heart. OR you can get a wire wreath form on Amazon here.

Are you ready to make this project? Here’s how it’s done below!

Deco Mesh Heart Wreath

Learn how to make a deco mesh valentine wreath using a heart shaped wreath form.

Prep Time5 minutes mins

Active Time6 hours hrs

Total Time6 hours hrs 5 minutes mins

Type: Valentine’s Day Crafts

Yield: 1 wreath

Cost: $12

Equipment

• 1 Heavy duty scissors or wire cutters
• 1 Ruler
• 1 Cutting mat
• 1 Rotary cutter or scissors

Materials

• 1 Wire heart wreath form – 12″
• 5 rolls 6” X 30 ft rolls of decorative mesh pink (1), red (2), white (2)
• 1 package Pipe cleaner(s) 12″

Instructions

• Cut several 10" lengths of the mesh – all three colors – using the rotary cutter. You'll be working with a bunch of 10" x 6" pieces you're going to roll into tubes. You will cut additional pieces as needed.
  
• Take approximately ten pipe cleaners and cut them into four pieces each. You will cut additional pieces as needed.
  
• Take one of the lengths of mesh and roll into a tube (not too tight). Pinch in the middle.
  
• Bend around a wire on the wreath form and secure by twisting a pipe cleaner toward the wire.
  
• Repeat this process with the rest of your mesh pieces, alternating colors to make it random.
  
• Continue until you have covered the entire wreath form. You might opt to have less toward where the heart connects at the top so that it's easier to see the heart form. Hang with a ribbon or nail.

Notes

Step 1: Cut several pieces of all three colors at once. I found it easiest to use a rotary cutter (with a ruler if you want to make sure the line is super straight). However, you can definitely use scissors. The rotary just sped up the process.

I usually start with about 15 tubes of each color because I know I’m going to need at least that many. Then I add as needed.

Step 2: Honestly, you can use any color pipe cleaners – you won’t see them. I usually try to coordinate white one of the colors in my wreath or use white.

Step 4: I recommend starting towards the bottom, but you can start anywhere.
