Berry Heart Wreath

With Valentine's Day only a month away, (Wow, this month is going fast!) I thought it would great to share this really cute wreath I have on my door.  No, sadly, I didn't make this.  I actually ordered it a few years back.  I was shopping around and I found a few things similar to it at Shop Wiki if you'd like to take a look.

Anyway, when we moved I packed it up, and I just got it out of our outbuilding this past fall.  So this is our first time to use it.  I really love using bright colors like red in the winter time, even after Christmas.  It really brightens things up and adds a lot of warmth.

What do you guys think?



Looking the wreath over, I see that it actually wouldn't be hard to make one like this either.  You could easily purchase a round twig wreath at Hobby Lobby.  Then purchase a piece of berry garland, and then weave it through the wreath.  Then add just a little hot glue to hold the garland in place and fluff it out as desired.

I attempted to take some pictures of how the pieces of garland are woven through the wreath.  I'm not really sure how good you can see it though.


I also bought a piece of garland to match this wreath, and last week I actually used it on a few projects which I'm really excited to share with you in the coming weeks. So stay tuned!


I'm linking up to these fun craft and decor parties!

    I was going to ask where you got the heart base. Recently I was looking for one, but could only find small vine ones or some willow looking ones. I finally had to settle for a round wreath for what I was making,

    For anyone wanting a willow heart wreath, they are at Hobby Lobby. I found a smaller version of the one on the blog here at Michael's. As Simply Sweet Home said, just add the berries.
