I’m not quite ready to take down my winter wreath. But my Mom mentioned the other day that she would like a Valentine’s Day wreath for her house. After doing some brainstorming I came up with this Shabby Chic Valentine’s Day Wreath!
A couple years ago I found this vintage sheet at a thrift store and fell in love with the colors and paisley pattern. I bought it, brought it home, (washed it) and proceeded to cut it up and turn it into something I could knit with. I ended up making a very loose knit scarf with it. Thankfully the scarf didn’t use up all of the fabric and I still had some leftover.
For this wreath I grabbed that ball of fabric, my sewing scissors, and I made a very quick frame out of an old wire hanger.
After I cut the fabric strips I tied them to the wire frame. Nothing fancy, just a simple knot.
And then I went and hung it up at my Mom’s house. I hope it’s a nice surprise for her when she comes home!
This is really cute, you did a great job! I found your blog through Annie Sauce giveaway and I am so glad I did, I love it and I am now following you!

Love it, would even look good with some cut out hearts. love the fabric Emily
Thanks, Emily! I thought about adding some cut out or crochet hearts but didn’t have any felt or yarn in the right color on hand. I might still go back and add some.
Super adorable, Julie!! Your Mom will love it!!! As an aside, Jordan is currently holding onto his robot hat while napping. You made my 3 year old a very happy little robot!! Thanks again!!
