I love Valentine’s Day… all kinds of love to be shared. Today I thought I would share a very simple valentine vignette in my shabby chic craft room. I don’t really decorate the house for Valentine’s and/or Easter. They just come and go so fast. Along with the valentine vignette, I thought I would share a super quick tutorial for the paper doily wreath featured in my vignette.
Paper Doily Wreath
Paper Doily WreathI used a plain white upcycled frame, old books, vintage wooden letters I bought on Etsy and a rustic looking jar filled with candy hearts. I love the neutrals and simplicity of this vignette. However, I love the focal piece the most — the doily wreath.
Supplies:
6″ floral craft ring
4″ paper doilies in two different styles
Glue gun
I used approximately 20-30 paper doilies, but I didn’t keep close count. And remember this is a smaller wreath, only measuring 6″. If you should do a larger one, you’ll need to consider using a larger size doily and quite a few more.
Pinch the doily in the center, add glue and place. The doilies allow for a little manipulation; however, be sure you don’t rip any in the process. Continue to do this until your wreath form is covered.
You might want to paint your wreath form white; however, as I mentioned earlier, I kinda love the neutral colors and I thought if the kraft color showed through in a spot or two I was okay with it. I think it adds a little imperfect character {smile}. It’s super light weight, so you could simply glue some twine to the back for hanging as well. I leaned mine against the frame, so nothing was attached for hanging purposes.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you like my valentine vignette and the super sweet little paper doily wreath! Happy crafting, friends. Hugs all around!

I’m so sorry for myself that I missed this 14 Days fest. Will have to go back and read all of them! I am SO going to the store on Monday to get some doilies!

That is a very cute wreath. I have a funny question for you. What kind of jar is that with the convo hearts in it? Thanks.

Hi Sheila! Thanks so much for stopping by. That jar used to house a soy candle. I loved the jar so much I cleaned it up and saved it… she’s a fave of mine. Hugs.
