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
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.
In the process of making definitely time consuming, but gonna turn out cute. Using all Red cause I can’t find Pink anywhere
