How To Make A Grapevine Heart Wreath
Here’s a way to make a pretty DIY heart shaped wreath that’s so easy!
If you are having a hard time finding a heart shaped wreath form in the craft stores don’t worry…there’s an easy trick to making your own form!
You will need to buy a roll of grapevine garland. You can grab it the next time you go to Michael’s or from Amazon. I love this stuff; I use it around my front door in the Fall.

Form Heart Shape
First, I cut a 60 inch piece ( 152.4 cm) of the grapevine garland with a pair of sharp shears.
I took the two ends of the grapevine and bent them down to form the top of the heart; then I secured them together by wrapping floral wire around tightly.
I squished the bottom of the grapevine together and wrapped it with the floral wire to form the point of the heart wreath.
The grapevine wreath wants to close on itself so I put a heavy board on top for a couple of hours to flatten it out.
Add The Flowers
Now it’s time for the flowers!
A heavy container kept the wreath flat while I was popping in the flowers. (it will hang up nicely at the end…you’ll see!!)
I was going for a simple, pretty look on this wreath using pink and white flowers and some dainty greenery. The flowers I had on hand from a bouquet I bought at Michael’s last Spring. Here are a couple of similar bouquet’s from their new Spring flower collection: Pink Rose & Peony bouquet or this Coral Hydrangea & Rose one. The pink rose bouquet has lamb’s ear in it too.
One bouquet has all the flowers you would need to make a wreath.
Next, I tucked in a white carnation on either side of the rose followed by a lamb’s ear leaf.
Then I filled the grapevine heart in with small pieces of ficus and a pink baby’s breath-like flower.
Ready To Hang Up!
I used the wire at the top of the heart to hang up the wreath.
SUPPLIES
It’s such a fresh pretty look…especially in January ( we can pretend it’s Spring, right??)
Happy Valentine’s Day!
XOXO
Lovely, Jennifer! Simple but so elegant! Congrats on your feature at Thistlekeeping!
Thanks so much Julie!! I usually don’t decorate too much for Valentine’s Day, probably because we had 4 boys, but I really love how it came out.
Absolutely gorgeous! Saved to try my hand at making this! Thanks for the detailed instructions!
Loved this Jennifer! Looks so elegant. I need something to put up for Valentines Day and this is perfect. I’m pinning this and I think I’ll give it a try! Thanks so much for the inspiration.
Thanks Denise! I’m not a big Valentine’s decorator so this is just right for me too!!
Great tip on making your own heart shape, I’ve had trouble finding one!! Excited to try it!
I couldn’t find a heart either…which led me to think of this!! I do really like how it’s more of a delicate look than the store bought ones too.
Your wreath is beautiful! It’s perfect to use for Valentine’s Day decor and then for spring decor.
Thanks Paula!!! I was literally just thinking about you…
