I HAVE SEEN SO MANY CUTE VALENTINES DAY WREATHS ON ETSY AND PINTEREST BUT MY FAVORITE WAS THE BURLAP WREATH IN THE SHAPE OF A HEART. SO OF COURSE YOU KNOW I HAD TO MAKE ONE!
I MADE THIS WREATH FOR A FRIEND OF MINE BUT I MAY HAVE TO MAKE ONE OF MY OWN!

I REALLY DO LOVE THE LOOK OF BURLAP WREATHS AND I'LL ADMIT THAT THEY CAN BE INTIMIDATING & A BIT MORE TIME CONSUMING THAN A GRAPEVINE WREATH BUT ONCE YOU GET THE HANG OF IT, THE OPTIONS ARE ENDLESS! THERE ARE A TON OF INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE IF YOU NEEDED SOME GUIDANCE AND I ALWAYS TURN TO PINTEREST FOR INSPIRATION.
BELOW IS WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO MAKE YOUR OWN.
SUPPLIES & COST

*I USED PIPE CLEANERS TO ATTACH THE BURLAP AND THE BOW TO THE WREATH FRAME. USING PIPE CLEANERS ON THE BOW INSTEAD OF GLUING IT DOWN ALLOWS YOU TO CHANGE THE BOW OUT AT A LATER TIME.
NOW, ONTO A LITTLE DIY! I HAD DONE SOME PINTEREST SURFING TO PREP AND GATHER MY IDEAS. I HAD PINNED THESE CUTE LITTLE FRAMES THAT SPELLED OUT THE WORD "LOVE".
PINTEREST: A DIAMOND IN THE STUFF
THE GREATEST PART ABOUT THIS LITTLE DIY PROJECT WAS THE FACT THAT I ALREADY HAD THESE FRAMES; BAD PART WAS THE FRAMES WERE PEACH AND GREEN. WOMP WOMP!
MY ORIGINAL PLAN WAS TO PAINT THE FRAMES BUT WHEN I WENT INTO MICHAELS FOR THE PAINT, I FOUND THE FRAMES IN RED AND WHITE FOR $2 A PIECE!

THESE WERE SO EASY AND COULD BE DONE SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS FOR SO MANY DIFFERENT HOLIDAYS AND OCCASIONS!

PINTEREST: BURLAP BANNER
GOSH I LOVE HOBBY LOBBY! HAHA THEY MAKE LIFE EASIER WHEN I'M TRYING TO PLAN A DIY PROJECT. I ENDED UP FINDING THESE CUTE LITTLE RED BURLAP HEARTS IN THE VALENTINES SECTION AT HOBBY LOBBY; PAIRED THEM WITH THE BURLAP FLAG BANNER WITH GLUE AND VOILA! I POKED HOLES INTO THE CORNERS OF THE BANNER PIECES AND THREADED THE TWINE THROUGH THE BACK. I COULD HAVE SAVED EVEN MORE MONEY ON THIS PROJECT BY PAINTING HEARTS ON LIKE THE ABOVE PICTURE, BUT I REALLY LIKE THE LOOK OF THE BURLAP HEARTS.
FINISHED PRODUCT
