Love Wreath Tutorial by Kat Hazelton (me)


With a just a few simple items you can create a fabulous love wreath.

First of all gather some materials. You will need sticks, a wreath ring, red and pink ribbons (the colours of love), string, lace, glue and items to decorate it. I used felt hearts, gem stones, glitter, bells and straw stars and a lotus seed head which has many connections with love. But you can use old photos, buttons, dried flowers, what ever you want!


To make a pentagram star I cut 5 sticks all the same length. I made sure these were slightly longer than my wreath ring.

I then arranged the pentagram shape on my wreath. This is to check out the size and also to make any adjustments before gluing. I have photographed each stage of the pentagram star to make it easier for you to follow how to make it yourselves.

 I have created my pentagram star. 


I took the sticks off my wreath arranged them again on my work surface. Using string I tied my pentagram star together. Remember your star doesn't have to be perfect if it is slightly wonky it just adds to the charm!

I then cut off the loose ends of string and added glue to the knots.


I then wrapped ribbon around my wreath ring. I just knotted at either end to fasten on.


I then tied on two lace ribbons, which I cut in half to make four pieces, at the bottom of the wreath.


I then glued on pentagram star onto the wreath ring. You could use wire instead.



Now the really fun bit adding the decorations! I glued on felt heart shapes.


I then added some straw stars onto the lace ribbons.


To add some glamour I glued pink glitter onto the felt hearts.


Now I glued little gem stones in the holes of the dried lotus seed pod. I later added a little glitter.


I added bells to the lace ribbon and glued the Lotus seed pod in the centre of the pentagram star. 


Now add a ribbon or string to the top of your wreath and hang up!
