DIY heart wreath ideas featuring one heart wreath, two ways. Easy and fun Valentine’s Day decor ideas for your front door!
The two heart wreaths featured below begin the same, but end up looking very different. Use the steps outlined below as a guide to make your own Valentine’s Day wreath, but before you buy anything, make sure to look through your “stash” to see if you can use something you already have. Let the Valentine’s wreath reflect your own personal style by changing the color of the little flowers or ribbon, and use any type of greenery you like.

Neutral Heart Wreath Supplies Needed
First up is a heart wreath that is neutral and light. The absence of pink and red make this a good choice for anyone who celebrates Valentine’s Day in an understated way! *Any kind of heart form can be used. A wire wreath form would be a good choice, but in addition to the florist wire, a glue gun may be needed.
How to Make
- Step 1: add a greenery garland of your choice to a heart shaped wreath. Use green florist wire to attach the garland to the wreath.
- Step 2: gather together the 4 white flower stems. Using wire cutters, clip a few inches off the bottom of two stems. Stick them in each side of the wreath, at about the middle point with the top of the stems pointing down. The fluttery top ends of the stems will overlap at the bottom tip of the heart.
- Step 3: cut the remaining two flower stems into 3 pieces each, for a total of 6 pieces. Stick these smaller stems into the top half of the heart.
- Step 4: tie a bow using white wide satin ribbon.
- Note: if you are using a floral bush, instead of stems, cut the stems of the bush apart with wire cutters, so you have lots of individual flowered stems. Just place them in the wreath evenly. To get a natural and organic look, add curly willow or thin sticks. (Get the sticks from any craft store or forage them from your own yard!)
Pink Bow Heart Wreath Supplies Needed
The second idea uses an incredible bolt of wide pink ribbon, and is a more traditional addition to your Valentine’s Day decorations. I used the same heart shape wreath featured in the above tutorial, and left the same greenery right on it.
- heart wreath base: choice 1 | choice 2
- garland of greenery
- scissors
- wire cutters
- green florist wire
- 4 inch wide pink grosgrain ribbon
How to Make
- Step 1: add a greenery garland of your choice to a heart shaped wreath. Use green florist wire to attach the garland to the wreath.
- Step 2: using wire cutters, cut the stems off the flower bush so you have several separate small branches.
- Step 3: stick the pink blossoms in the wreath, at least 4 on each side. If desired, add twigs to the bottom point of the heart.
- Step 4: Using this bow tutorial, make a bow from the wide ribbon.
- Step 5: Attach the bow to the wreath.
Once you make the investment in a wreath and greenery, it’s very easy to switch it up for the different seasons. A heart-shaped wreath form can be hard to find, but don’t let that stop you! This tutorial could be easily adapted to a round wreath, and it would be beautiful. See this guide for even more Valentine’s Day Ideas!

Hi Laura! On top of the wreath is a garland that actually does sort of look like Rosemary. I got it at Hobby Lobby. They have a whole aisle of different kinds. Thank you for stopping by!
Ann, that beautiful cherry blossom wreath was just lovely. Thank you for the excellent tutorial! I LOVE your blog !!!!
Wow, your wreathes get progressively better. The pink on the navy door is striking. I love your blog and am so glad I found you. You truly inspire me.
Thank you Niki! I’m glad you found me too. :)
What sweet ideas! Thanks for sharing!
Charming! Pink is one of my favorites and when I first saw this I thought of my pinks in my garden. They have that flyaway green leaves and stems. I love the look. I am going to have to see if I can find something similar. Spring seems far away this morning with the wind and cold temperatures we have here.
I know what you mean about spring feeling far away. Treat yourself to some pink tulips from the grocery! They really do help.
Thanks ! The wreath is lovely and even I can make that bow! Stay warm and safe!
Hi Ellie! Of course you can make that bow…thank you for your lovely Facebook comments and for visiting here. You stay safe too…
I guess this means I better take my Christmas wreath down and get busy with Valentines and spring. Today for Super Bowl I am making your baked beans recipe to go along with the barbeque spareribs and potato salad. Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas. Today I am celebrating my 80th birthday, all over the country people are having Super Bowl parties but I think they are all just celebrating my birthday. Lol
Happy Birthday Betty Lou! Your Super Bowl meal sounds amazing…and truth be told I just took down my Christmas wreath when I put this one up!
This is so lovely. I love the touches of pink!
Ann, you always have such a knack for making everything beautiful. Love that dark pink against the blue door!
What a lovely thing to say Jennifer…and I could say the exact same thing to you!
Absolutely lovely wreath. I used to make them regularly. However, a major reconstruction update after a dreadful ice storm caused so much damage leads me to not hang anything on the new doors. You have inspired me to make a new one like this for inside. It is very nice. Just found your blog recently and look forward to each post, thank you.
Yes this type of wreath is perfect for indoor too…and welcome to On Sutton Place!
