Even though I love it, I'm not the kind of person who's going to cover the house in balloons and glitter to celebrate. I like simple decorations. And you can't get much more simple than my V-Day wreath.
I bought a a heart-shaped wire frame at Hobby Lobby. At $3 it's a steal, but a 40% off coupon makes it even better. Picking the tulle was easy - pink and red with a little white filler. I picked up the tulle at Hobby Lobby too when it was 50%. I did not use all 3 spools, but since I paid for all of them, we'll say the total cost for this project was about $10.
Then came the hardest part of the whole project - cutting dozens of strips of tulle! I highly recommend using a cutting mat and rotary cutter so you can measure each strip and so the cutter won't get snagged like scissors can.
After I had all of my strips, I tied them around the wreath, alternating the colors as I went. A word of caution: tie all of your knots identically so your tulle is going the same direction. I used simple slip knots to make the tulle lay evenly.
After I tied all the of the knots, I fluffed out the wreath and used scissors to trims it up to make it more even. It is now hanging on our back door to welcome all who enter.
