DIY {Dollar Tree} Valentine's Wreath

I literally own zero Valentine's decorations. None. Zilch. Nada.

So, when I saw this, I decided that I had to make it. Or something similar to it.

I bought all of my supplies and decided not to look at that tutorial until after I was done. That way, mine would turn out differently than the one that sparked the idea. I knew if I looked at her's I would want to copy it exactly because it is so cute.

All supplies, minus the spray adhesive and "Shaved Ice", are from Dollar Tree!

You will need:

Hot glue gun, and glue.

A wreath form. You choose the size! I would recommend getting a light colored one just because it is more easily hidden, but if you already have a darker one that would work too. 

Heart Picks. There are red ones and pink ones, sparkly ones, and felt ones. I used a combination of all of the above. Total I used around 6 packages of these.

White loofah's. I used 3, but depending on the size of your wreath you could use more or less.

Spray adhesive. I got this from Hobby Lobby. 

"Shaved Ice". Also from Hobby Lobby. This is definitely optional, I actually liked the wreath without it better I think!

What to do:

 1. Cut the ties in the middle of the loofah to unravel it and, using your hot glue gun, glue the loofah fabric around the wreath form. Bunch it up so that it hides the wreath. I ended up double layering loofah fabric on top of loofah fabric in order to completely hide the wreath. Once you have it glued you can go back and glue down places that look too fluffy or are out of place.

2. Start adding your hearts! {The wooden stick part easily pulls out of the heart if you just wiggle and pull.} There was no organization to the way I did this. I just evenly spaced them out and glued them on.

3. Once you have all of the hearts glued on that you want, spray with glue adhesive and sprinkle on the shaved ice evenly. {Do this outside!}

That's it! Ready to go on your door!

Total Project Cost = Around $25

 If you already own spray adhesive that will cut the cost in half. The spray adhesive I found was $12!

I think I like the original a little better than my version, but I like mine too! I'll consider my first wreath making a success! : )
