Valentine's Day Wreath
The most romantic day of the year is just around the corner. I wanted to make something for Valentine's day, so I thought it would be fun to make a wreath.
While in the thrift store one day I stumbled upon this heart-shaped wreath for cheap. I used it as the base for my wreath. I covered the wreath with fresh baby's breath and pink paper flowers.
.
I wanted to jazz my wreath up a bit, so I attempted to dye the baby's breath. I filled the sink half full with water then added a couple ounces of red food dye to the water. I dipped each bouquet into the water a few times until the color began to set. I left the flowers outside to dry overnight.
The color is very faint, but I love the shades of soft pink mixed in with the white flowers.
I finished it off with a simple bow made of jute ribbon. I love to use very simple and inexpensive supplies.
Do you think it's pretty? I love how it turned out! I hope you're inspired to make your own.

I so wish I was creative like you this is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThis is great. I really enjoy seeing all of your creations! It's very inspiring :)
ReplyDeleteBrandi That is so cute i! You are so creative
ReplyDeleteI love the shades of soft pink too. Beautiful
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Brandi! Love the color of the flowers and I know I'd never think to use red food dye:) Really such a pretty thing for Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely. I would have never thought to use food coloring to dye paper flowers. I love how they turned out. Wonderful job.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Luv the romantic look of the wreath... Now I want to find a heart shaped wreath....
ReplyDeleteBrandi, you did a fabulous job on this beautiful wreath! It is so soft and delicate looking. I would never have thought of dying silk flowers like this. Well, come to think of it, I've never thought of dying silk flowers. :) Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Brandi~
ReplyDeleteYOu've done it again! I think this is just precious and am wanting one of my own! It's so soft and pretty without screaming Valentine's Day. It could be used all spring. Love it!
Great job! SMART idea on dyeing the baby's breath the color you want it. The color gets more saturated than if you were to merely spray paint it. Love is in the air!
ReplyDeleteThis wreath is absolutely beautiful! Thank you, for the great inspiration! Blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful wreath Brandi! I can see you still using it in the spring.
ReplyDeleteThis idea is lovely! :)

So darn pretty! Love the idea of dipping the baby's breath!
ReplyDeleteThis is just so darn pretty! I would have never thought to dye the baby's breath. Beautiful job. You should share at next weeks Transformed Tuesday Link Party. We'd love to have you. http://pjhdesignsoneofakind.blogspot.com Hugs, Peggy
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and dainty.. Thanks for Sharing.
ReplyDeleteBrandi, it's so pretty! I love that you dipped the white baby's breath. I would never have thought of that, but what a great idea! And the paper flowers are really lovely, where did you find them? I wonder if it will still keep for next year? That would be nice to be able to tuck it away when Valentine's day is over and pull it out again next year. Have a great week!

ReplyDeleteThis is just so sweet! I love the baby's breath. It has such a reputation for being a 'filler' flower, and I like how you made it the main focus of this wreath.
