Another season is upon us, which can only mean one thing: we need another wreath for our front door. I truly enjoy creating statement pieces to adorn our front entry door and I hope you will follow these door wreath posts through the year for inspiration and ideas. This time we made a monogram Valentine’s Day heart wreath, perfect for spring and beyond.

This DIY monogram Valentine's Day heart wreath makes quite the statement piece on your front door. Perfect home decor through spring and beyond. Beautiful mantlepiece craft as well.

This particular wreath was greatly influenced by my micro-manager, Jansen (4). My original idea featured lots of red and pink colors, but apparently those are banned from a house with four boys. I recruited Jansen and Jonah (2) to help paint the hearts, but they went on strike when I started to pour the hot pink paint… so that explains why our monogram Valentine’s Day heart wreath is blue and yellow.

I love the end result and the spring colored hearts. You are of course free to chose your own colors, but I highly encourage you to enlist the help of your own micro-managers. You never know in which direction they will take the creative process. Have fun making your own monogram Valentine’s Day heart wreath. 

Supplies used:

  • Unfinished wood monogram. I loaded up on these pieces in the after-Christmas sales, so prepare to see more of them as we progress through the seasons.
  • Acrylic craft paint
  • Paint brushes
  • Burlap ribbon with finished edges
  • Unfinished wood hearts
  • Hot glue gun
  • White linen ribbon

This DIY monogram Valentine's Day heart wreath makes quite the statement piece on your front door. Perfect home decor through spring and beyond. Beautiful mantlepiece craft as well.

Instructions:

  1. Jansen and I painted the entire wood monogram. I originally meant to wrap it in red tinsel, but again, the idea was scrapped by the creative-committee for excessive use of the color red.
  2. The outside of the wood monogram was wrapped with the wide burlap ribbon. I cut the ribbon into 3’ strips for manageability. I tacked the ends down with hot glue when I started and ended a strip of burlap.
  3. Jonah and Jansen were in charge of painting the small wood hearts, which they did beautifully. I just went through and make sure there was paint on the outside edges too – for that nice finished touch.
  4. I let all the glue dry, after the entire monogram was wrapped, and then went back to apply more glue to loose corners. I also trimmed thread that was sticking up in the wrong places.
  5. The painted hearts were placed and glued onto the wreath with the hot glue gun. The placement of each of the hearts was scientifically planned and strategized by Jansen.
  6. Lastly a 4’ strip of white linen ribbon was tied around the wreath so it could hang from the hook on our front door – for all the world to see.

I love how this wreath turned out with the bright and cheerful colors. It stands out nicely against our burgundy front door.

Don’t miss the other wreaths I have made… and there will be more to come soon!

    This is super cute! I love the idea of yellow and blue. You always see pink and red, so it’s a nice change. I may have to make this one with my son!

      THANK YOU! It was truly my 4-year old’s design. I wanted red and pink, but those colors just don’t exist in a house with four boys – apparently. Ha ha ha
