Hot Pink Valentine’s Day Wreath
Valentine’s Day will be here before we know it and while I don’t usually do a lot of decorating for it, it is fun to do a few projects.
It’s no secret that I love pink… and Valentine’s Day is just another excuse to decorate with it.
This heart wreath was so easy to make with just a coat hanger, a $1 thrifted hot pink scarf, and a bunch of chandelier crystals that I had left over from my garden candelier project.
I bent the hanger into the shape of a heart.
Then I wrapped the scarf around the hanger.
When that was done I knew it needed something more, but I wasn’t sure what. I also didn’t like the hanger at the top.
So I bent it back and forth until it broke off and twisted the ends together with pliers.Ā Then I wrapped the scarf around the hanger again, securing the two ends where they met at the back with a safety pin.
I was still wondering what I was going to decorate it with, so I went through some stash boxes and eureka! I found the chandelier crystals and I thought… why not?
I simply hung them on the scarf, and now my heart wreath is dripping with sparkle.Ā What do you think?
I believe in pink! Just like Audrey Hepburn did.
Thanks so much for reading. I hope you have a pinktastic day!
Oh I believe in pink and I believe I love this, so very pretty!
Thanks so much Mel! There's something about pink that just makes me feel good. It's such a happy colour.
"It's no secret that I love pink" – I think you are me. My boss went office supply shopping for me and brought back a pink stapler, tape dispenser, calculator, and ruler. For Christmas, she got my a pink Christmas cactus (which, I'm pretty sure I'm the only person who can kill a cactus…) I do believe I will have to make this for my office! Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks so much Ann Marie! I'm so glad like it. I appreciate you stopping by and commenting!
I am always amazed how you are able to use these furry scarves. Since you have shown several creations with them, I have look, but have not found any. Love the heart!
Thanks Donna! These scarves are so versatile, I have about 10 in all different colours (all at $1 a piece) and have lots of ideas on how to craft/decorate with them. I like that I can just keep reusing them over and over in different ways. Maybe even as scarves. Now there's an original idea. lol
How sweet is that! beautiful!!! funny, i also just made a wire hanger valentines heart, although mine is a bit more sinister :-). love your blog and am following back.

Thanks so much Suzan! There's something about pink that just does it for me. I'd like to have a little pink in every room, but the hubby might have something to say about that!
Tuula, this is fabulous! You know I love a good wreath! Love that you used a hangar for a form too! I have to try that! And my favorite part? Sparkle with no glitter! Gorgeous!
Thanks so much Danni! I was so lucky to have those chandelier crystals because nothing else seemed right to me. I guess that's why I can't get rid of things like that. That's the excuse I tell myself anyway.
Your wreath is perfectly pretty in pink. It's a wonderful addition to any Valentine's day decor.
Thanks Amy! I'm loving crafting for Valentine's this year. It's a lot of fun.
How fun and cute! I would love for you to come link up to my Get Social Sunday party and follow along. What a great idea for others to see!
