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.
