Step-by-Step Instructions to Make a Heart Wreath

Step 1: Wrap the Frame with Burlap Ribbon

Start by securing one end of the green burlap ribbon to the heart-shaped wreath frame with hot glue. Then, tightly wrap the ribbon around the entire frame, covering it completely.

Use hot glue as needed to keep the ribbon in place, especially at the start and end points. This creates a beautiful base for your wreath and ensures the frame is hidden.

Step 2: Add the Boxwood Sprigs

Once the frame is wrapped, it’s time to add the boxwood sprigs. Tuck the stems of the sprigs into the ribbon or frame and secure them with zip ties.

Continue layering the boxwood around the wreath, making sure the greenery looks full and evenly distributed. Use zip ties to connect the sprigs to each other and the frame for added stability.

Step 3: Attach the Clip-On Hearts

Take the pink and red clip-on wooden hearts and clip them onto the boxwood and ribbon, scattering them randomly across the wreath.

These hearts add pops of festive color and bring the Valentine’s theme to life. You can also adjust their placement easily until you’re happy with the look.

Step 4: Add the Metal Valentine’s Sign

Using zip ties, attach the small metal Valentine’s sign to the center or side of the wreath, depending on your desired look. If you prefer, you can use a combination of ribbon and hot glue to attach the sign for the most secure attachment.

Step 5: Create and Attach the Bow (Optional)

If you’d like to add a bow, use a ribbon to create a multi-looped bow (an EZ Bow Maker can make this even easier!). Hot glue the bow to your wreath, and for extra sparkle, add a piece of bling or embellishment to the center of the bow.

This step is optional but adds a lovely finishing touch.
