a valentines wreath

I am feeling ahead of the game (it’s a good feeling, though I rarely experience it). It’s early January and I already have a Valentine’s Day project to share-unlike the holiday season when I was sharing new crafts/ideas a week before Christmas-not very practical for all you DIYers.

I currently am loving yarn wreaths.  It’s hard not to get carried away and make one for every occasion…and so I present my Valentine’s Day version. I like that it’s Valentine’s inspired, but not too themish.

I’m feeling lazy and therefore do not have a full tutorial for you…but it’s a fairly simple process. I left all the fabric edges raw…again highlighting my laziness, but I actually like the look. The patterned fabric was ruffled by hand, and the white fabric simply has pleats sewn into it. Oh, and I hot glued the fabric to the back of the wreath form in case you were wondering. If you have questions about the how-to, please feel free to leave a comment or email me! I’d be glad to help.

I’d love to know what craftiness you guys are working on for Valentine’s Day…
if you have a project, leave a link in the comments!
Again, I’m ahead of the game and may need another craft or two to fill my time (ha ha).
I’ll share my favorites in the next week or so.

how much yarn do you need for a yarn wreath?

What a cute idea. It would be lovely to have all year round and change the little heart or add some sweet spring flowers in SpringAlison

It's beautiful! AND< if you felt like it, after V-day, you could snip off that pretty little heart and keep it up. Great work! I'm working on a Vday project now too, but it's not ready yet. I'll show you when it's done :)
