Top DIY Valentine’s Wreath Ideas for Every Style

From rustic to romantic, here are the most popular and easiest DIY Valentine’s Day wreath styles you can create at home:

1. Easy DIY: The Classic Ribbon Valentine’s Wreath

This is one of the quickest and most affordable easy DIY Valentine’s Day wreath projects, perfect for beginners.

Materials You’ll Need:

• Heart-shaped Wire Wreath Form (or a coat hanger bent into a heart – pro tip: use pliers to bend the wire!)
• Ribbon: Approximately 3-4 rolls of assorted ribbon (red, pink, white, striped, gingham). Burlap, satin, or wired ribbon all work well.
• Scissors

Step-by-Step Instructions:

• Prep Your Ribbon: Cut your ribbon into strips, approximately 6 to 8 inches long. Varying the width and pattern of the ribbon will add texture and interest.
• Attach the First Strip: Take one strip of ribbon and tie it in a simple knot around one of the wires on your wreath form. Pull the knot tight, making sure the ends are roughly the same length.
• Continue Tying: Continue tying ribbon strips all the way around the form. Alternate colors and patterns as you go.
• Cover Completely: Push the knots close together to ensure the metal or wire form is completely covered and the wreath looks full.
• Trim and Fluff: Once complete, trim any uneven ribbon ends and gently fluff the ribbon strips to create volume.
• Add a Hanger: Tie a loop of a single, contrasting ribbon to the top of the heart for hanging.

2. Pro DIY: Rustic Floral Grapevine Heart Wreath

For an elegant, farmhouse-style look, a grapevine wreath base is ideal.

Materials You’ll Need:

• Heart-shaped Grapevine Wreath Form
• Faux Flowers (e.g., silk roses, tulips, or baby’s breath)
• Faux Greenery (e.g., eucalyptus or ivy)
• Floral Wire and Wire Cutters
• Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
• Wide Wired Ribbon for a bow

Instructions:

• Prep Greenery: Cut small pieces of your faux greenery. Use floral wire to attach a garland of greenery around a section of your grapevine wreath. You can cover the entire wreath or just a portion for an asymmetrical look.
• Add Your Focal Flowers: Cut your faux flower stems into small clusters. Expert Tip: If using delicate flowers like baby’s breath, you can simply tuck the stems into the natural crevices of the grapevine wreath. Secure with a dab of hot glue or floral wire if needed.
• Create a Pattern: Attach the flowers in a cluster at the top, or along one side of the heart. For a full look, work your way around the entire wreath, alternating flower types.
• Attach the Bow: Create a beautiful, full bow using your wide wired ribbon. Use floral wire to secure the bow to the top or side of the wreath, right next to or slightly overlapping your main floral cluster.
• Final Touches: Add any extra embellishments like a small wood sign that says “LOVE” or “XOXO” using hot glue.

The traditional palette is red, pink, and white. However, you can make a wreath that matches your home decor! Cream, gold, silver, burgundy, and even black and white are popular modern variations.

Personal touches make your wreath special! Ideas include:

• Adding wooden or felt letters that spell out “LOVE,” “XOXO,” or initials.
• Incorporating fabric strips from a sentimental item, like an old scarf.
