Easy Valentine Heart-Shaped Moss Wreath

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, I'm sharing how to DIY these heart-shaped moss wreaths from dollar-store items. Whether you decorate for Valentine’s day or not, this could easily blend with other seasonal decor by just switching out the ribbon and it does not scream “Valentine’s”. I like the simpler side of Valentine decor?
Time: 1.5 Hours Cost: $25.00 Difficulty: Easy

I found my two different red wreaths at the Dollar Store. Not exactly my style, but they were just the two right shapes I was looking for.
I’m starting with the larger wreath. This wreath is perfect for this project. Once I removed all the red razzle-dazzle, there was actually a plastic form hidden!

It actually took only a few minutes to remove the red plastic. I simply snipped it at one end and it easily unwound.

This is how the wreath looked like after everything was removed. A perfect heart-shaped form.

Now start filling the form with your green moss. Break up your moss in pieces. My bag of moss had a mixture of the greener moss and the drier spaghum moss. I wanted a greener wreath so I used up the drier moss on the underside by just simply gluing the pieces of moss around the wreath with a glue gun.

When that seemed full, I turned it over and glued the greener moss around, filling in any empty spots.

For the second smaller wreath, I left the form as is and just glued the moss right over the red velvet.

After you are finished gluing the moss, remove any excess dried glue and tie a pretty pink ribbon. I used blanket binding. Blanket binding has a fold so the bow will hold up better than regular ribbon.

I added a few pink and white accessories and created this cute little vignette.
