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.
My posts may contain affiliate links; you can see my full disclosure HERE.
Step 1. 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.
Step 2. 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.
I added one large pink flower as the focus for the wreath.
Here are a few links to similar flowers that you can use to make your own heart-shaped wreath (Updated on 1/13/22):
- Pink Peony Bush
- Coral Peony Bunch
- Rose Stem
- White Carnation Stem
- Greenery
- Lamb’s Ear Bush
- Grapevine Heart Wreath
- Grapevine Garland
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 greenery and a pink baby’s breath-like flower.
Here’s a quick YouTube video I made for this wreath!

Ready To Hang Up!
I used the wire at the top of the heart to hang up the wreath on my front door.
It’s such a fresh pretty look…especially in January ( we can pretend it’s Spring, right??)
Happy Valentine’s Day!
XOXO –Jennifer

Thanks for stopping by today! Being able to share my projects, DIYs, and decorating ideas with you is amazing. Leave a comment below; I love hearing from you!
Hello Jennifer
I love your sweet heart shaped wreath (as well as all your amazing creations!!!) is it necessary to soak the grapevine garland prior to shaping it? It’s so calming and fun to see and try so many ideas!! I adore you and your friend Ann at Dabbling and Decorating. Your amazing talents are such inspirational ideas!!!
Oh, thank you so much Kathy!! I didn’t soak the grapevine but I did have to put something heavy on it to flatten it out…I think because I had stored the grapevine garland wrapped up so tightly that it had a mind of its own! Ann is great and her Maine home is just up the coast from me…small world!! Your comments made my day –Jennifer
I’m so glad you joined us at Embracing Home and Family! Your wreath is lovely!

I love this Jennifer! I actually just got a moss covered spiral of vine from my mom and think I’m totally going to copy you, but do it with paper flowers. Just know I got the idea from you;) Thanks for the inspiration! Pinned!
Ooooh, that will look so pretty!! I can’t wait to see how yours turns out. I’ve never used paper flowers.
That is so pretty!! Love the finished product.

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!
Thanks Veronica!!
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…
