With Valentine’s Day around the corner, I'm sharing how to DIY these heart-shaped moss wreaths from dollar-store items. Whether you decorate for Valentine’s day or not, this could easily blend with other seasonal decor by just switching out the ribbon and it does not scream “Valentine’s”. I like the simpler side of Valentine decor?
I found my two different red wreaths at the Dollar Store. Not exactly my style, but they were just the two right shapes I was looking for.
It actually took only a few minutes to remove the red plastic. I simply snipped it at one end and it easily unwound.
This is how the wreath looked like after everything was removed. A perfect heart-shaped form.
Now start filling the form with your green moss. Break up your moss in pieces. My bag of moss had a mixture of the greener moss and the drier spaghum moss. I wanted a greener wreath so I used up the drier moss on the underside by just simply gluing the pieces of moss around the wreath with a glue gun.
When that seemed full, I turned it over and glued the greener moss around, filling in any empty spots.
For the second smaller wreath, I left the form as is and just glued the moss right over the red velvet.
After you are finished gluing the moss, remove any excess dried glue and tie a pretty pink ribbon. I used blanket binding. Blanket binding has a fold so the bow will hold up better than regular ribbon.
I added a few pink and white accessories and created this cute little vignette.
Enjoyed the project?
Suggested materials:
- Heart-shaped wreath forms (Dollar Store)

Very, very pretty!! I would like to make these hearts but real moss picked outside fades very quickly. I would see what else could work that's treated and preserved. Thanks for the idea!!
