How to : Neutral Valentine’s Day wreath!!

Lately for the holidays I have been obsessed with monochromatic decor as well as neutral decor. so when making Valentine’s Day decorations this year I still wanted a bit of the traditional red but a little bit more toned down. So of course I turned to Pinterest and YouTube first for some inspiration. I saw so many people doing really cute things with the dollar tree heart wreath and I knew I had to get had to get it. but I still don’t know what to do with it I had some cotton rope that I had gotten from another local dollar store and when I started playing with the two I ended up with this beautiful Handwoven heart wreath. For just two whole dollars you can make this yourself.

What you will need

1. A dollar tree heart wreath

2. Cotton rope ( for a different look, you can use the same technique with ribbon, long strips of fabric or really thick yarn)

3. Glue gun

Step one ☝🏽

Start anywhere on the wreath. I started at the bottom of the heart. Take a piece of rope,ribbon, or yarn and hot glue it to the back of the wreath form.

Step 2

Cut a really long piece of the rope. Next, take the end of the rope and weave it around the outside wire under the middle wire and over the inside wire of the heart. Pull the rope all the way through.

Step 3

Now you should have your first row and the end of the rope should be in the middle part of the heart hanging over the inside wire. Now take the end of the rope and weave it under the inside wire over the middle wire and under the outside wire. Pull through.

Step 4

Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the rope is completely woven around the heart. when you get to the parts where the heart curves the rope will need to be spaced further apart on the outer edge.

You should have the perfect neutral valentines wreath when you are done. You can add a red ribbon for that classic pop of color if you want.
