Valentine’s Day Craft-Boxwood Wreaths
Boxwood wreaths are all the rage these days! They are not only beautiful, but transitional as well. As I was walking around Michael’s to collect supplies for my XOXO letters, I happened upon these cute little vine wreaths that were left out of place in the basket aisle. I was compelled to pick them up, and within seconds knew what I wanted to do with them. Make mini boxwood wreaths!
SUPPLIES NEEDED
Mini vine wreath(s)
Boxwood Garland
String/Twine
Valentine’s Day Tags
Scissors
Hot Glue Gun & Glue Sticks
Take your garland of boxwood and remove the leaves. You will find that they come off in a bunch. I chose to cut them apart, and place each sprig individually onto the vine wreath. This allowed me to create a more realistic looking wreath.
You will then take your piece of boxwood and glue it to the wreath. This vine came with thicker leaves as well as thinner budding leaves. I found that using the thicker leaves around the outer rim of the wreath created volume. I also placed them in random spots on the front of the wreath. I then glued the thinner leaves throughout to fill in the negative space.
Once you have your leaves glued down, take your twine or string and thread it through the V-day tags. Pick a place you’d like to tie it to and let it hang on the inside of the wreath.
And that’s it! You can choose to display these in a number of ways. I am planning on using these at the dining table in February, but I like the outcome so much that I am making plans to use them around the house year round. The tags are easily removed so this wont be an issue.
I hope you enjoyed the tutorial! As always, I’d love to know if you attempt this tutorial. Let me know below in the comments, or on Instagram (@IrisNacole). Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!
