Are you looking to get crafty this Valentine’s Day?
Then our Valentine’s Day Heart Wreath tutorial may be just what you’re looking for.
Easy enough for beginners yet comes out so beautiful even seasoned crafters will enjoy making one.
Valentine’s Day Heart Wreath Supplies:
- 6 sheets of 12″ x 12″ double sided scrapbook paper
- Straight pins, at least 1″ long, with small heads (no plastic heads)
- Styrofoam Heart Wreath Form
- Paper Trimmer (this one is our favorite and worth every penny!)
- Bone folder (optional but extremely helpful)
- Ribbon to hang wreath (optional)
1. Start by cutting all six sheets of the paper into 1/2″ x 12″ strips.
2. Using a bone folder (or scissors) curl the paper half way one direction and then half way the other direction. The two ends should curl toward each other as shown below.
I’ve been making round wreaths like this for years. When I get to this step I grab a bowl and curl all the strips while watching TV.
3. Attach each paper curl to the Styrofoam wreath form using a straight pin. The reason you want pins that are at least an inch long is so they have enough length to grab the Styrofoam.
4. Repeat Step 3 working your way around the wreath. Mixing the papers as you like.
5. To add the ribbon hanger just attach a length of ribbon to the back of the wreath form with more pins.
