I had a gift certificate for Joann’s and wanted to make a Valentine’s Day wreath, so off I went to see what inspired me from the store. I found white flowers in the bridal section, and a heart shaped wreath form in floral. I also spotted this adorable vintage graphics heart decor piece that I had to snatch up for under $3. I got them all home, and decided the white was too white. I needed an aged look, so I put the flowers in a shallow pan and poured coffee over them. I let that sit for a few, then spread them out on wax paper to dry.
Once they were dry, I just stuck them to the wreath form with my hot glue gun. I arranged my new wreath and the decorative vintage image heart from Joann’s with a wide red ribbon, and that is that!
I love it! It is a nice change from the t-shirt wreath I had up before. I think cupid is smiling.
This is really cute, and so simple to make, love it !!!!
Almost everyday I get to come home and find some beautiful addition to our living environement that my wife has created and displayed. The love is always felt, but in this particular piece the love is symbolized right there on the front door !!!
I am the luckiest husband in the world.
btw..if you leave the flowers out on the counter while your making coffee in that old coffee maker of ours, you will be guaranteed a good staining of the flowers, the counter top, the floor, and maybe even a beagle if he is wandering nearby !
