I’m not a big fan of Valentine’s Day. It’s just a little too girly for me. Plus I don’t like the idea of having to romantic just because of a silly holiday. But…. I do love making things with my kids. So this year I’m trying not to be such a scrooge and decorate a little bit. I loved how my candy corn wreath turned out. It was on my door for at least a month and I only lost about 6 candies, so I decided to make one using conversation hearts.
This is how I made it:
1) I took a straw wreath, conversation hearts and electrical tape.
2) I wrapped the tape all around the wreath
3) Then I used hot glue and glued the hearts onto the wreath
4) I alternated the hearts each row
Here’s the whole thing covered. It took three bags (from the dollar store)
5) To protect the candy from the weather, I used a acrylic glaze
6) I sprayed two layers of the glaze onto the hearts.
7) I added some ribbon and hung it on my door
And just like that, I have a fun Valentine’s Day wreath!
Here’s a close up…. no more “call me” hearts now they say “text me”. Ha!
Your wreath is so cute! I love the convo hearts!

This is great! We are on the same page when it comes to Valentine's Day, for the same reasons! I love your blog and want to thank you for having a Link Party. I only discovered them over the weekend and am having way too much fun for still being in my pjs!
So cute.. I kind of bought these cute little hearts and had no idea what to do, something less fancy was on my mind and this wreath idea is just the thing I'm going to try.. 🙂
Thanks for linking up!
I did this too – and still am getting comments on it years later! Love it!

Cute! I did the same thing with peppermint candies at Christmas. I cannot imagine having the patience to glue conversation hearts (or candy corn for that matter!). At least my peppermints were a big bigger equaling faster coverage. I tip my hat to you. 🙂 Looks great!
