I've decided there just needs to be a wreath for every holiday/season! So, I went ahead and made a Valentine's wreath. I've wanted to use a strange material for a wreath for awhile now, but just couldn't think of the right holiday or season I wanted to make it for. But I think V-day is perfect for this!
I then dismembered my loofahs, there's a little string in the middle of them that I cut, that way you don't have to actually cut the material. I kept one of the pink strings that, I guess you put around your wrist, for later.
Supplies:
- wreath form
- paint/paintbrush
- at least 2 loofahs, more if you want it bigger/fluffier
- hot glue
- V-day appliques
- string or ribbon
I used pink & white loofahs I found, where else, at the Dollar Tree. Most of this project all came from the Dollar Tree!
I found these picks that I thought were adorable!
I painted my wreath form a light pink, you can use whatever color you want obviously. I just wanted it to match my loofahs. I think red and white would be cute for this too, or just all red or pink!
I didn't get a picture of this part, because it was awkward and I couldn't hold the material and take a picture at the same time. But, at this point you should have 2 pink and 2 white loofahs sections. I gathered them together and just wrapped it around the wreath form. Then hot glued the ends down to itself. Then I pulled off the hearts from the sticks and glued them onto the loofah. I then took one of the loofah strings and tied it to the top so that it can hang on the wreath hanger! Voila!
I hope you enjoyed this project and that you try it out! Let me know how it worked for you and how you made it your own! =]
