The Magic of Old Picture Frames
I have a soft spot for old picture frames, and here’s why. These vintage gems, with all their chips and scratches, bring a unique charm to any space. When paired with a heart-shaped wreath, the frame isn’t just a border; it’s pure magic. It elevates the wreath, making it a standout piece, especially in larger spaces like my cozy white living room.
Crafting Essentials: What You’ll Need
Creating this charming DIY Valentine’s Heart Wreath is a breeze, thanks to readily available materials. For the wreath base, you can easily find a moss-covered wreath in the shape of a heart at Walmart. As for the color palette, my inspiration was soft peach and white, radiating a sweet and natural vibe. Feel free to choose your faux flowers, but I suggest delicate peach and white blooms. To add a touch of nature, incorporate a few small twigs. Thrift stores are gold mines for unique frames – that’s where I found the perfect one for this project. You can also snag the beautiful cotton ribbon from the link provided. Step-by-step instructions are provided below.
Supplies:
- 1- Moss-covered heart wreath
- Small cluster(s) of your chosen faux flowers and greens

DIY Valentine’s Heart Wreath with Frame
Equipment
- 1 Hot Glue Gun with Glue sticks
- 1 Pair of scissors
Materials
- 1 Cluster Faux flower stems and greens
- 1 piece Moss Covered heart wreath form
- 1 roll Ribbon
- 1 piece Empty picture frame
Instructions
- Using the pre-heated glue gun, the first step is adding faux florals to the bottom left part of the heart wreath.
- Layer the blooms and greens to build a beautiful cluster by securing each bloom in place with dabs of hot glue.
- If you have larger blooms, place them close to the point of the heart.
- Place the wreath at an angle within the vintage picture frame.
- Secure the wreath by running a piece of the ribbon through the top left arch of the heart, attaching it firmly with a bead of hot glue on the frame.
- Craft a bow using the same charming ribbon. Tie it onto the loop holding the heart, creating a delightful visual accent.
- Take the glue gun and tactfully secure the bow and its tails in place on the frame with a dab of hot glue. The floppy ribbon will gain structure by tacking it to frame, adding a touch of elegance to your creation.
- With everything in place, hang your DIY Valentine's Heart Wreath in your chosen space. Admire the charm you've crafted for a festive touch to your home decor!
