Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching, and what better way to prepare for this sweet season than by crafting your own beautiful wreath! Not only is this project budget-friendly, but it also allows you to express your creativity and add a personal touch to your Valentine’s decorations. Today, we’re excited to share how you can create a cute and easy Valentine’s wreath using a Dollar Tree sign as your charming centerpiece.
What You’ll Need:
- Dollar Tree Valentine’s-themed sign: This will be the whimsical focal point that anchors your wreath design.
- Grapevine wreath base: A classic choice that adds rustic charm and provides structure to your creation.
- Red and pink faux roses from Walmart: The perfect romantic floral touches that symbolize love and passion.
- Greenery: Essential for adding lushness and depth to balance the vivid rose colors. We used artificial eucalyptus in our wreaths.
- Glitter heart picks: Bring in some sparkle to catch the light and evoke the playful spirit of the day. We purchased our glitter heart picks from Dollar Tree.
- Wired ribbon and 26-gauge floral wire: For crafting a stunning stacked bow that adds dimension and flair.
- Grace Monroe Home glue skillet: An efficient way to secure all your elements seamlessly. Learn more about using a glue skillet here.
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Choose Your Sign: Visit Dollar Tree and select a Valentine’s sign that speaks to you. This will be the star of your wreath, helping convey the theme and mood you wish to create.
- Prepare Your Base: Use the grapevine wreath as the foundation. Its natural, rustic feel is a perfect counterbalance to the bright florals and decorative elements.
- Secure the Sign: Place your sign in the center of the wreath and attach it using floral wire or hot glue. This focal element should be prominently displayed to draw attention.
- Floral Arrangement: Place the red and pink roses around the wreath, tucking the stems into the grapevine. Secure them using our Grace Monroe Home glue skillet for a firm hold.
- Lush Greenery: Add greenery between the roses to fill in gaps and enhance the visual appeal. It adds dimension and creates a more cohesive look.
- Sparkle with Picks: Insert glitter heart picks strategically among the flowers and leaves. They’ll reflect light and add a playful twinkle to your wreath.
- Create a Stacked Bow: Using wired ribbon, fashion a lush stacked bow, secured with 26-gauge floral wire, and attach it to the wreath. This element adds movement and elegance to your design. Need some bow making Inspo? Click here for a detailed stacked bow tutorial.
