Rustic Farmhouse Valentine Wreath for the Front Door

Took a Dollar Tree tinsel, glittery wreath wrapped it with a roll of burlap ribbon also from Dollar Tree.

For the bows, I used 2" red burlap ribbon and 1.5" wired brown burlap ribbon from dollar tree.  I believe the 1.5" red & tan check and  7/8" black & white checked ribbon came from Craft Outlet. I cut 6" lengths of all the ribbon.

Then I layered red burlap add from my stash raffia and a couple of single strand of pip berries

wired burlap ribbon, red and tan ribbon and last the black and white ribbon

used some twine to tie up and attached to this finished bow to the wreath.

I always try and keep some light weight card stock/board that I get from cereal boxes for templates.

So I used the cereal box cardboard and cut out three hearts large medium, small for this fabric heart accent for the wreath. I used the black striped flat fold fabric that comes in this bundle from Wal-Mart, also red burlap ribbon and a aged book page.

 

I'm cutting out two heart from the fabric because, I'm making a little heart pillow. The first layer of the hear pillow is the black stripped fabric,

then the red burlap heart is a little smaller,

The third and last heart is cut from aged book paper.

 

Glue the three layer, I used Aleene's Tacky Glue and let it all dry completely.

I said I was making pillow hearts, so I added a cotton ball for batting.

With embroidery thread I used a blanket stitch around the edge to close up the heart pillow.

A finished little heart pillow.

I like how this project turned out.

Thank you for stopping by.......until the next project.

God Bless You, Vicki

DYI - Valentine Wreath "'Dollar Tree" make over

Using a grapevine wreath I had, I added some of the Black and White Checked material and thin red ribbon and wrapped around the grapevine wreath. 
Next I added some of the little wooden hearts that I bought at "The Dollar Tree" that were a welcome sign and chalk painted white

and also added the letters to spell the word love from the yard of  black and white checked fabric, using stencils I had in my craft supply box.

I used wide popsicle stick from Walmart and laid out the letter heart out and glued to popsicle stick, then attached it to the ribbon on the grapevine wreath to get a 

I added a bow made from the 2 inch wired burlap ribbon from "The Dollar Tree "store and a 2 inch strip of the black and white checked fabric.  I think I should have added another black and white checked ribbon on top of the burlap bow.

I hope I gave you some decor  ideas to implement into your home decor for February.

February 2019 Will Soon Be Here!

When it comes to seasonal decorating, I pull out the bins and see what I have and right now my Valentine Decor is pink or red, white and a little burlap accents.  
 I made a red felt/burlap heart banner for the mantel a couple of years ago

I have a few items from Dollar Tree.

Red and white felt "Happy Valentine" Banner I made last year.

 Next step is to go check in with a couple of amazing You-Tube crafters that I follow, to see what the tend is for this years season.  

Buffalo check and Burlap are part of every DYI project I see for Valentine Farmhouse Decor this year.

 I'm definitely going to be including some black and white check hearts into my February decor.

I found the black and white checked material at my local fabric store, I picked up 2 yard.

Stay tune to see what DYI's I come up with this year.

Thank you for stopping by,
