Tied Heart Wreath

THIS IS A SPONSORED POST IN COLLABORATION WITH WAVERLY INSPIRATIONS AS PART OF THEIR BLOGGER TEAM

Your Valentine’s crafting isn’t complete unless you’ve made a Valentine Wreath, right?!  Today I want to show you this super simple Tied Heart Wreath – it’ll come together in no time, and all you need is a wreath form and fabric – so easy!

I love how it turned out – isn’t that pink gingham fabric what dreams are made of?!  It’s so perfect – it’s part of the Waverly Inspirations line at Walmart – yes!  So run and grab some for yourself – I know I’ll be grabbing more soon!

  

Let’s jump right in to the tutorial!

Tied Heart Wreath

you’ll need:

–smooth round heart wreath form (mine is from Make It Fun)  – – you can buy it here: http://amzn.to/2k3cgCE (affil. link)

–fabric (mine is from Waverly Inspirations)

–ribbon for hanging (also from Waverly Inspirations)

I almost mixed a bunch of fabrics, but last minute I decided to do an all-gingham wreath.  You can go either way – I think both are way cute ideas!

VIDEO TUTORIAL

Yep, for all you that love watching how something is made, I put together a Video Tutorial for this project, wahoo! If you would rather learn through a regular tutorial, keep scrolling on down, I have that too!

First up, you’re going to rip your fabric into 1 inch strips.  Fold those strips into fourths lengthwise and cut them – so you’re getting 4 smaller strips of fabric out of every long strip that you ripped.  I think I used about half a yard of fabric.

Next, you’re going to tie those strips onto your wreath – it goes so fast!  Fold your fabric strip in half and place it under the wreath, with the folded side on the outside edge, as shown:

Then reach through the loop part and grab the tail ends, over the wreath, as shown:

Pull those tails through the loop:

 

And voila!!  Once you do it a time or two, you’ll really get moving fast on them.

Then just keep repeating, adding ties all along the wreath:

You’ll probably need a slightly longer strip for the point areas of the heart – they take more fabric to wrap around.

You can see how fun the knots are lining the side of the wreath:

And that’s really all there is to it!!  You can make a loop with ribbon and hot glue it to the back so that the wreath will hang.  That’s it!  So cute, and so easy to make!

Have you ever made a wreath using this tie method before??

Have fun giving it a try!
