I’ve never been super crafty – that’s my Mom’s thing – but I can handle a rag wreath! I made a rag wreath for Christmas, and then spent even more time at the fabric & craft store. I found a heart-shaped wreath and decided that would be perfect for February!
Here’s the one I made for Valentine’s Day.
You’ll Need:
- Three colors of fleece – I used 1/2 yard of red and pink and 1/4 yard of white.
- 1/4 yard of tulle – your choice of color. (I used pink)
- Wreath frame (heart shaped, if that’s what you want)
- Rotary Cutter
- Self-Healing Mat
- Straight-edge (I used a yard stick.)
How-to:
- Cut the fleece and tulle into 1/2 inch by 5 inch strips. (I used a straight-edge and eyeballed it, but 0.5×5 was my goal.)
- Tie the fleece and tulle onto the wreath frame using an overhand knot.
- Put it on your table or wreath hanger and enjoy!

The wreath came out very cute. It looks like it would take a while to piece together. Must pin.
Sara Phillips says
The longest part is cutting the fleece. After that’s done, it takes about 30 minutes!

Ohhh I have totally been looking for a wreath to make for Valentines! This is precious! And looks (relatively) easy! LOL Great job!
Stephanie Person says
Love this! Looks super cute and easy!
Katrina says

Jennifer @ My Sweet Sanity says
This came out so cute! I like a nice full wreath and this one definitely is.
Natalie says
That is so pretty! So you tie the how length of cut fleece around the wreath frame?
Sara Phillips says
Yep! Just take one piece of fleece and tie it on. SUPER simple!
Paula @ Frosted Fingers says
That is so super cute! IF I weren’t wrapped up in other things I would totally make one for my house. My christmas wreath is still up. shhh
Sara Phillips says
I won’t tell!
Jennifer says
This is super cute! I want to make these as gifts for the kids preschool teachers!!!
Sara Phillips says
You could do it in the school colors (or teacher’s favorite colors) on a round wreath for year-round goodness!
Kat B. says
This is so cute! I bet it would last for a long time as well.
Lisa Branam @ A Little Slice of Life says
That is super cute! I’m not very patient when it comes to cutting though. I bet I could rip some fabric with ethe same effect only a little more messy.
Sara Phillips says
I’m not a very patient cutter either, that’s why I use the rotary cutter!
Not So Average Mama says
Very cute! Love it!
Holly says
How cute! This would be great as a gift for teachers.
Donna says
I’m not generally crafty, but I “think” I can do this. It’s so darn cute!
Sara Phillips says
I promise you can!
Robin Gagnon {Mom Foodie} says
This is quite pretty.
Beth says
I love the idea of using fleece for a wreath. It is still cold here and this just looks warm! I need to find some heart forms.
Sara Phillips says
I found them (cheapest with a coupon) at Jo-Ann Fabrics.

This is cute. I really like the heart shaped wreath for Valentine’s Day. I can see why you went with this craft, looks super easy.
Linda B says
This is so cute! I think I can pull this off, with rotary cuter. No patience for a scissor! ha!
Susan McNeill says
This is so cute and it looks pretty easy to do. I get so sad when all the Christmas decorations come down becasue it looks so bare… I think I need to decorate more for Valentine’s Day to perk back up!
Colleen Pence says
So pretty! And it looks easy too – my favorite kind of craft project. 😉
Dana Rodriguez says
That is absolutely adorable!I think even I could make this~pinned 🙂

I love this! I am a huge fan of wreaths and I don’t have any for Valentine’s Day. I think I need to get busy!!
