Good evening!  So, earlier today I posted the Valentines wreath made with felt circles and I told you I’d be posting a new Valentines project tonight.  Well here it is, the Pink Dot Valentines Wreath made simply from coffee filters (and a little pink paint of course).  So simple, and so fun for Valentines Day.  This is a great project to do with kids too

If you like this wreath, don’t forget to check out my Irish Rose Wreath, which can be made using pink fabric for Valentines Day! 

For this project, you will need a woven twig wreath (I purchased from the dollar store), coffee filters, pink paint, hot glue & ribbon (if you will need it to hang the wreath).

First, paint the tops of the coffee filters with pink dots, this will take approx 50 filters.  The number of filters will vary depending on the size of your wreath.

Next, pinch the bottom of the coffee filter to form the flower.  Twist the bottom to hold the flower in tact.

 Using your hot glue gun, place a small dot of glue on the stem of your “flower” for the insertion into the wreath.  I found that many of the flowers did not require glue as they fit snugly into the woven wreath.

One-by-one place the flowers into the wreath.  I found the best method to be placing the flowers in varying directions, forming a stacked pattern for more fullness.

This process is a bit time consuming, took me about 2 hours.  Once you’ve placed all the flowers you may choose to tie a ribbon around the wreath to hang it, this was not necessary in my case.

Here it is… the completed Pink Dot Valentines Wreath!

Love is in the air, it’s my favorite time of year!  I’m feeling crafty today, so I’m going to share a fun & super in-expensive DIY Valentines Day wreath.  This is so much better than anything you would buy in the store!

 First, you can purchase any wreath base from a craft store, heart shaped, circle, foam or braided.

Next, cut red (or pink and red) felt fabric into circles, approx. 1-2″ in diameter.  This part can be a bit time consuming, but hang in there-it’s worth it!

*Fun variation:try using red burlap instead of felt for a more organic look

 Now that your circles are cut, pinch them in the centers to create the look of a flower.  Add a dot of hot glue to the bottom of each “flower”.

Stick felt flowers in random patterns all around the wreath, the fuller, the better in my opinion…

Tie a wide ribbon around the wreath for hanging, and viola…the finished product!

And if you chose the red burlap variation, your finished product will look more like this…
