This little number just went up on my front door …

… with sweet burlap rosettes and a casual white bow.

Perfect for adding some Valentine’s love to a front door on a laid-back, snowy day.

As always I hope you’ll Rock What Ya Got and adapt this make it work using what you have on hand.

***************************************************

Grab your nicest case lot sale box and cut out a heart form to use for your wreath. The sides of my heart were about 1.5” wide.

I dug through my fabric stash and found an old, stained polo, … cut it into 1” strips …

… wrapped my heart form and secured the fabric strips with hot glue.

I made a bunch of burlap rosettes from 1” strips of burlap and hot glued them to the heart form …

… working my way around until the whole thing was covered. (Edited to add: You can find a great tutorial for rosettes here.)

I cut two 3” x 36” strips of white muslin to use for the sash and bow.

To hang, I tied the sash in a simple knot around the wreath (or the scrap of cardboard that I’m pretending is my wreath) …

… then tied a simple bow out of the remaining piece of muslin and hot glued it in place.

To finish, the tails of the bow got a quick trim.

Simple, fast and done in a single nap time!

Enjoy!
