Vintage Style Valentine's Wreath
4 Materials
I came across two pretty satin and lace heart Christmas ornaments and knew immediately I would use them for Valentine's decor somewhere in my house. From there, my imagination was sparked and I went to work.
Miscellaneous lace bits and paper straws were how I began my project.
I cut the straws in 3 to 4 inch pieces, put hot glue on the end and began wrapping the lace around the straw.
I continued to build up the lace, fluffing it as I wrapped it around the straw, and continued to glue it at the base of the 'flower'.
Here you can see how I squeeze the base tighter onto the straw.
Here is how the flower looks from the top when it is complete .
I cut the straw off near the base of the flower and stick a wrapped stem wire into the flower, add a bit of hot glue to secure it.
Now my flower is secure on a wire and ready to secure to my grapevine wreath.
With my lace flowers finished, it was time to assemble my wreath. In my mind, there isn’t much more vintage-looking than a grapevine wreath, and an oval one at that . I suspended my satin and lace hearts in the center with piece from extra pieces of lace.
A fluffy sheer cream colored bow is added to the bottom of the wreath.
With the wire stems, the flowers are easy to attach to the grapevine, nestled around the small bow holding the hearts on the wreath. The final addition was a small string of cream colored pearl beads . The top of the wreath reminds me of a lacy blouse with a string of pearls.
This wreath is one that should be displayed indoors unless you have a protected front door like I do with my deep covered front porch. Have fun making lace flowers and adding them to whatever decor you would like!
