This little number just went up on my front door …
… with sweet burlap rosettes and a casual white bow.
Perfect for adding some Valentine’s love to a front door on a laid-back, snowy day.
Want to make one?
As always I hope you’ll Rock What Ya Got and adapt this make it work using what you have on hand.
***************************************************
Grab your nicest case lot sale box and cut out a heart form to use for your wreath. The sides of my heart were about 1.5” wide.
I dug through my fabric stash and found an old, stained polo, … cut it into 1” strips …
… wrapped my heart form and secured the fabric strips with hot glue.
I made a bunch of burlap rosettes from 1” strips of burlap and hot glued them to the heart form …
… working my way around until the whole thing was covered. (Edited to add: You can find a great tutorial for rosettes here.)
I cut two 3” x 36” strips of white muslin to use for the sash and bow.
To hang, I tied the sash in a simple knot around the wreath (or the scrap of cardboard that I’m pretending is my wreath) …
… then tied a simple bow out of the remaining piece of muslin and hot glued it in place.
To finish, the tails of the bow got a quick trim.
Simple, fast and done in a single nap time!
Enjoy!

Beautifully done!
Many Blessings,

I have to say, you are one of my favorite blogs to follow! You are so stinkin' creative. You are so good at making wonderful things without spending money. That is the way I have to be too. So thanks for all the ideas!
Love this
OK, enough of the gorgeousness (is that a even a word? spell check didn't catch it! haha)! so beautiful Nike! I love it!
Wow, this is AMAZING! Can you show how you did the rosettes?
Ok Nike, I want one!!! Seriously woman, I am impressed! Guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow now. 🙂
You put the grin in green! I love this~ What an amazing job; I want to make one now~
I recently made a wreath out of fabric scraps and a hanger and love seeing all the different things you can make with what's already on hand. How did you make the rosettes? Your wreath turned out gorgeous!
This is absolutely darling!! I love how scrappy it is! Well done!!

As usual you teach us a lesson in beauty and simplicity on a budget… Can you even call it a budget when you spend nothing ?
I see alot of valentines hearts around these days but yours caught my eye and is very beautiful…nice job!
Love it! It is simple and elegant. Valentine-ish but doesn't scream it :o)
Really– where (or should I say why) do you have so much burlap? and I also want to know — how do you make the rosettes?
Awesome heart wreath —
Joyce, Judy & Debbie,
I just sort of rolled and twisted my scraps, hot gluing every few turns. Jen at Tatertots and Jello has a great tutorial with pictures and actual instructions:

Caroline,
Ha! I guess I don't really have a budget when it comes to spending money, but I do have to budget the materials I have on hand. I was going to use unbleached muslin to wrap my wreath form, but decided I didn't want to use it up. The old t-shirt worked just as well and the muslin can be used for another project.
This is exactly what I've been wanting for my door! And I think I have all the materials. Now if you could just tell me how to make the rosettes… 🙂
I. Love. This. You are my hero.
This is the kind of gorgeous that leaves you speechless! I'll definitely be sharing this!!
pozdravujem vás.dobrý nápad,určite vyskúšam :-))

Can you make some and sell them?? :)))
SUPER cute! I love that you used an old shirt. I may need to rethink all the stuff I donate to Goodwill:)
I love that! I may have to do my own variation. You can rock it like nobody's business! You have helped inspire me to look a little deeper into my house, be more creative and stop buying so much!
um….this is like awesome. i'm actually thinking of trying and i'm completely craft illiterate. you are amazing. keep it up!
Love this! You are inspiring! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. Hope to see you around often- I'll definitely be here!

I just came over from Thrifty Decor Chick. I love this heart wreath and can't wait to gather the materials and make one of my own. I have been eyeing a heart wreath at Target and this will be so much cheaper and fun to make too.
This is so gorgeous… simple but classic. I love it!
This is gorgeous!
