Nothing says Valentine's Day like roses, so I thought it would be fun to make a wreath that featured them to hang above our Valentine's Day Mantel! This wreath uses faux rose petals in shades of pink, hot pink, and red for a color-blocked look and couldn't be simpler to make. All you need are the petals, a wreath form, and a hot glue gun. Finish with a big red heart in the middle and you have a fun and frilly wreath for Valentine's Day!
Add a small dab of hot glue to the bottom of a rose petal.
Adhere the rose petals to the wreath form, creating a row of slightly overlapping petals. Make sure to wrap your row around the sides of the wreath form as well to avoid any of the styrofoam showing through.
Add a second row below your initial row of petals. Once you have two rows of petals, you can switch to the next color of rose petals. I used three colors of petals for my wreath, and switched the color after every two rows of petals. Alternatively, you can use a single color of rose petals for the entire wreath if you want. One package of rose petals should be plenty to cover the wreath.
Keep adding rose petals until you’ve covered the entire wreath form.
If you want, you can add a dangling heart cutout by gluing a piece of baker’s twine to the back of the heart, and then gluing the twine to the backside of the wreath, positioning and trimming the twine as needed so that the heart hangs in the center of the wreath.
