DIY Heart Wreath Two Ways
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 + Natural Heart Wreath
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.
Supplies Needed
- heart grapevine wreath: choice 1 | choice 2
- garland of greenery
- scissors
- wire cutters
- green florist wire
- 4 long stems of white flowers
- 2.5 inch white satin 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: 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 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!)
Heart Wreath with Pink Grosgrain Bow
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.
Supplies Needed
- heart grapevine wreath: choice 1 | choice 2
- garland of greenery
- scissors
- wire cutters
- green florist wire
- 4 inch wide pink grosgrain ribbon
Note: the flowers pictured on this sweet heart wreath are no longer available. Any kind of pink faux flowers can be used. Cherry blossoms are a good choice.
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. (Picture below.)
- 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.
