Although we just happened to make this heart wreath right before Valentine’s Day, it’s simple design and neutral colours make it perfect for the whole year. We’re not ones to change our home decor too frequently so our DIYs usually have to pass the all-season test. For example, we made this floral burlap wreath for our fall decor, but have it up in the kitchen to this day! And this scrap fabric heart wreath can be used throughout the entire year too.

What you need to make your own quick and easy rustic wire heart wreath:

In fact, we put this wreath together so quickly that we have very few pictures of the work in progress!

Here are the 5 quick steps:

1. Cut wire to 3 yards (36″) long using wire cutter.

2. Loosely shape wire into a large heart.

3. Begin weaving burlap ribbon onto the wire on one end. Add as much or as little burlap as you like. The more you add the fuller the wreath will look.

4. Twist ends together at center of heart.

5. To hide the joined ends, you can cover with burlap or wrap with twine.

Hang heart wreath on wall or door to enjoy!

Love this easy to make idea. It looks so pretty with the blue in your photo. Yes, I need a little something to recognize the day. The Dollar Store always has lots of inexpensive decorations that you can add to something you make as well.

Thank you so much Charlotte. It is nice to put something out, even if it's just really simple, isn't it? That must be why Valentine's day was invented, to help the weaning process from all the Christmas décor, right? ;)
