Fabric Rose {Valentine’s} Wreath Tutorial

| Filed Under: Fabric, Holiday, Home Decor, No Sew, Tutorials, Valentine's Day

Need something fun for your front door? How about a super cute Valentine’s wreath made of fabric roses? Me thinks this is a great idea! And, super easy!!! Wanna see how cute my front door looks these days? Ok, go ahead and check it out:

Romantic and Pretty, isn’t it!
So, I am finally feeling good enough to get some crafting done. Man, I miss it. What withdrawal I have been in these past few months. Darn little baby causing me so much strife! Nah, two months and counting of being nauseated is worth it especially after seeing him/her (see this post).
Do you want to make one of these beauties for your front door? I think you should!

Fabric Rose Wreath
1 foam heart (I bought mine at Joann’s)
1 1/2 yard white party tafetta (you could also use apparel lining or bridal satins, you just need the fabric to be a little stiff so the roses stand up!)
red ribbon (mine was 2 1/4 inches wide!)
rotary cutter and mat
hot glue and gun
fray check (optional…I left my fabric frayed and thought it looked great!)

Here’s what you’ll need to get started!
Ready? Ok, let’s go!!!

Cut your fabric into 1 3/4 inch up to 2 inch wide strips by about 20 inches long.


I also alternated by making some of my strips 8 or 9 inches long just to vary the thickness of the fabric roses. Totally optional though 🙂

To make your fabric roses, start by placing one end of a fabric strip between your index finger and thumb.




Press the hot glued end to the fabric roll and there you have it, the beginnings of a fabric rose!



See, now it looks all rose-y!

Now, start dabbing hot glue onto the front of your foam wreath and press the fabric roses into place.


Fill the entire wreath (front only) with your fabric roses, making sure you have a nice full wreath when you are done.

Now, cut a length of ribbon that you think will hang nicely from your door. Hot glue the two ends together to make a circle, like so.


Flip your wreath over and place a huge dab of hot glue to the top center of the foam back. Press your ribbon circle from the last step into the glue.

It should now look like this! Pretty cute, right!?!

Now, cut 3 smaller strips of ribbon in varying lengths and glue the ends to make circles. This is going to be your bow. You will layer largest on bottom, then middle sized, then smallest on top.


Cut another much smaller piece of ribbon to wrap around the center of the 3 layered ribbons you made above. Hot glue into place on the backside.

Now, cut two more strips of ribbon to make the ends of the bow. Go ahead and snip the ends at the top and bottom, like so.

Now, just hot glue the two ribbon strips to the top of the main ribbon (see above picture)


Glue your bow to your main ribbon and Voila, you are done with your Valentine’s wreath!! What a beauty!


Go hang your new wreath on your front door and Admire!

Now your front door is ready to welcome your guests in style!
So Love-ly!
