I made this wreath last week for Valentine’s Day this year and I love it!  It was so easy and CHEAP.  AND, you’ll see that you could use it for Christmas too  – so two wreaths for $10! I got all of my materials at Hobby Lobby in two separate trips so I was able to use two 40% off coupons.

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 or 2 wire hangars (I used two and wired them together) – FREE
  • 2-3 yards of Red Burlap – $5.98 (use 40% off coupon – download the mobile app for free to make this super easy)
  • Letters ‘X’ and ‘O’ in Chipboard – $2.49 each.  I used a coupon for one so paid $3.49 total.
  • Two sheets of scrapbook paper – $.59 total (on sale for 50% off)
  • Ribbon – already had on hand
  • Mod Podge – already had on hand

Here’s what to do:

We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!

  • Stretch your hangar into a circle or unhook it to put two hangars together.  I just overlapped mine to the desired size.

  • Lay the fabric out flat and measure 5″ widths and cut.

  • Begin putting the fabric on the hangar going back and forth until the whole strip is on.  Repeat until the hangar is full.  IMG_2132
  • Twist the hanger back together to close.  I had to get more fabric later because all they had was 1 1/2 yds!   You will want it to be much fuller than this!IMG_2123
  • To make the letters, lay the scrapbook paper face down and glue the letters on using the Mod Podge.
  • Once dry, trim the paper around the letters with an X-Acto knife, then Mod Podge the surface to seal and provide a shine.
  • Glue the letters together with hot glue and then glue the ribbon onto the back.
  • Loop over the top of the hangar and add a bow to cover.

  • Voila!  When you want to use it for Christmas, just take off the Valentine letters and add something festive for Christmas or just a different bow and you’re all set!

Try it and let me know how it turns out!  I plan to make one for Easter too!
