I found some beautiful yarn from a thrift store for $1. I then ran to Dollar Tree and picked up a heart wreath and a battery operated strand of LED lights. For $3, I made a heart wreath – great for Valentine’s Day or keep it up all year.
Here are the basic supplies – Heart Wreath Form, Yarn/Fabric, Battery LED Light Strand.
I put batteries into the LED light strand, and I wound it around the wreath form.
I tied one end of the yarn/fabric onto the wreath form and began winding the yarn/fabric around the wreath form.
I continued all the way around the wreath form and I wrapped the battery pack from the lights inside. I could still feel the switch through the fabric to turn it on and off.
I tied off the the other end onto the wreath form, and made a loop to hang the wreath from.
I love how the wreath turned out and the lights happen to twinkle. You can leave it as is or turn on the lights. I made this for Valentine’s Day, but I could easily leave this up all year around.

Your wreath turned out wonderful! It’s nice to be able to make something nice and not spend a lot of money on all the supplies. I’m visiting from Thursday Favorite Things. If you’re interested, I shared heart art gift bags #44. 🙂

Thanks so much Michelle, we are loving it and it’s helping beat the winter blues 🙂
Your wreath came out awesome! It’s very creative! I don’t think I would have thought to use lights. I also like the other wreaths you have on this page. The bunny one is so cute!
Thank you so much Kate, and I’m thrilled you it as well as the other wreaths.
This is a really cool idea! I am ordering some lights to make one of these pretty wreaths.
Have a great week,
Kippi
