Kicking off this “Month O’ Love” we thought we would share with you a super easy, really inexpensive Do It Yourself wreath!
I needed something for my front door to make it a little festive for Valentines. It’s been a little naked since taking down the Christmas Wreath. I don’t like to pay a lot for these little holidays so I decided to make one on my own… For less than $5! It’s easy peasy and you can do it too! The texture of the cupcake liners make for a beautiful whimsical decoration for your front door or anywhere in your house
What you need:
– Approximately 100 Cupcake liners – Valentine Themed. (My front door is red so I went with pink and white)
– Coordinating Ribbon
– Heart Shaped board (I bought one for less than $2 at Hobby Lobby, it’s a lightweight wood in the Valentine section)
– Hot glue/Glue Gun
What you Do:
– Scrunch your cupcake liners up from the bottom like little flowers
– Hot glue it on to your board working in small sections
– Once you are finished gluing on your liners, use your ribbon to make a large loop (measured to the desired length for your door) Hot glue the ends on the back of the heart board and let dry.
Extra Steps/Alternatives:
– Paint your board so the edges are pretty
– Use more than one pattern, don’t be afraid to mix it up or add in some solids
– Use a foam wreath (from the dollar store) wrapped in ribbon in place of the board
That’s It! In and out for less than 5 bucks and about 30 minutes! You can even get the kids involved by letting them help bunch up the liners. (Caution: This might make your 30 minute craft into more like an hour craft)
If you try it, let us know how it turns out!
Great idea…love love it…this idea could also be used for mini hearts or heart picture frames for kids to do in school!!
