One of the easiest ways to decorate for a holiday is with a wreath. They also happen to be a bit expensive, but luckily they’re really easy to make. I’ve made a plaid rag wreath that I still use till this day, and more recently, I made a pom pom clothespin wreath. This time I decided to make a DIY Valentines Day pipe cleaner wreath. Like most of the crafts I make, this Valentine’s Day pipe cleaner wreath is easy enough for the kids to even help make.
Pipe Cleaner Valentine’s Day Wreath
The key to making this Valentine’s Day wreath look really pretty is to use lots of pipe cleaners! I alternated between pink and red for a ombre-ish effect and I think it really made the colors pop! I bought three and plan on making a wreath for Olivia and Lauren using the colors in their room. Check out the step by step instructions below!
Supplies:
- Heart shaped wire wreath frame
- 5 bags of pipe cleaners **I used pink and red.
- Scissors
Instructions:
Fold a hand full of pipe cleaners in half and cut in the middle.
Cut in half once more.
Fold pipe cleaners into a V
Slide onto wire frame, twist twice and slide to the side.
Continue all the way around alternating between pink and red.
When done push pipe cleaners up and out
Isn’t it pretty!?
Pin this pipe cleaner Valentine’s Day Wreath for later
That is adorable!! I’ve seen frames like that at our dollar store and never knew what I can use them for. I’m going shopping!! 🙂
Holy smokes this is adorable! And such a clever way to user pipe cleaners. And this post is the perfect reminder I needed — I need to put up my Valentine’s decor quickly.
what a cute wreath. I love this idea for Valentine day. Such a brilliant family craft idea.
This is just so cute! I never would have guessed that it was handmade. You did a great job.
This is so simple and adorable! This would be a fun craft to do with my kids, easy enough fro them to do. I also love the bright red color, perfect for Valentines day!
Wow! That came out amazing!! And so simple too! It’s perfect for Valentine’s Day ?
This wreath is SO cool, creative, and original! Love, love it!
In the process of making definitely time consuming, but gonna turn out cute. Using all Red cause I can’t find Pink anywhere
Just curious I’m making this wreath right now and can’t find Pink so I’m using all Red now my question is did you use 5 bags of Pink and 5 bags of Red for a total of 10 bags because I have gone through 4 bags and only did the outer rim, am I putting too many on each section. It looks good. Thanks for your answer.
