I’m so excited to share with you my latest DIY – a farmhouse Valentine’s Wreath! I’ve joined up with some fellow bloggers for a DIY Pinterest Challenge Valentine’s Wreath blog hop! You’ll find lots of inspiration for decorating this Valentine’s Day.

Our inspiration for this blog hop is a Valentine’s Heart Wreath tutorial we found on Pinterest from Christina at The DIY Mommy. She created a heart wreath by using book pages and it is super cute! We are taking our inspiration from her DIY and using our own ideas and materials to make a similar project.
Materials Needed
- Greenery Wired Garland
- Floral Wire
- Ribbon
- Tape
- Sign/Canvas
How To Make A Farmhouse Valentine’s Wreath
First I started by creating the backdrop that I wanted to display my wreath on. While I was at Hobby Lobby last week I found an 11×14 wood sign on clearance for just $5.49. I didn’t love the design but I knew that a little paint could fix it right up.
I took some of my decor paint from Country Chic Paint in the color Simplicity and painted 2 coats on my sign. This covered the existing design completely.
Next I took some wired olive leaf greenery garland that I had picked up last year for $3 in the Dollar Spot and started forming it into a heart. As I went along layering the garland I cut small lengths of floral wire and twisted them around the garland holding the pieces together.
Then I took some ribbon and slid it between the garland strands. I taped the ribbon to the back of my sign to hold it in place. This way if I want to change the wreath out later I can easily take it off.
I love how it turned out! It fits in perfectly with my decor and was super simple and easy to make!
