Interchangeable Bunting Wreath {Valentine’s Project}

I combined my love of glitter + bunting into a little  
{Valentine’s Wreath}
And I thought it might be fun to make the bunting interchangeable so the wreath could be kept out for more than one holiday or season 🙂

You can make one for any occasion —  
Fall and Halloween,  
Christmas and New Years, 
Easter and Summer,  
Birthday and everyday…. 

Here’s what you need: 

*A wreath form — mine was from Dollar Tree
Fabric – what kind depends on what you want your bunting to look like
Ribbon to match your fabric
Mod Podge
Glitter
Ribbon to hang your wreath
Fabric for your rosettes {1″ wide by 18 inches long for each}
Letters to spell words on your bunting — optional
Here’s how to make one of your own: 
Start off with a Wreath — mine was one I had on hand from the Dollar Store.
Ella was my very helpful assistant!!
**Note – it will take a lot less glitter to start off with a white wreath – lol. Brush on some Mod Podge and glitter, lots of glitter!!!

I used Martha Stewart Tourmaline Glitter. Such a pretty pink/purple color.

To keep the glitter on the wreath long-term, spray the wreath with some clear spray paint.
Make a template. You need to factor in that you are going to sew the pennants – unless you aren’t going to sew them, lol.
 
I wanted mine to 3/4 inches wide so I added 1/4″ inch to all sides, making the template 1 1/4″ wide by 1 3/4″ long. Then sew each pennant and then turn them right side out.
 Once the pennants are sewn, iron them flat.
Hannah helped me with this step!
 Lay your ribbon out on the wreath and pin the pennants onto the ribbon.
Glue the pennants on to the ribbon.
Make some rosettes to cover up the edges of the ribbon. Check out my Rosette Tutorial if you want to learn how to make these easy flowers.
Use a plain pin or cut the top off a pin and push the pin through the center of the rosette and through the ribbons to secure the bunting.
The last thing you can do is print off some letters if you want to spell something out — like Happy Birthday, Happy New Year, Happy Halloween or anything else you want! I used my Silhouette, but if you don’t have one, you can use some sticky letters from your craft store!!
Have a Great Day!! 

xoxo

    well, Hi There, Jen! I'm stumbling and I found this lovely tutorial!

    I love your tutorials. Even though I don't sew, I like looking at the pics.

    I do a lot – an awful lot – of painting tutorials. A lot of my followers don't paint and I could never figure out why they liked my tutorials.

    Now I get it. It's like sewing 'vicariously' thru you!

    Hi- this isn't regarding the content of the post, just the Art Institute ad at the bottom of it. Do they pay to have a spot on your blog or did you attend that school? I ask because my son really wants to go there so I'm looking for any info about them, other than what is at their website.

    Thanks & regarding the post & all your other Valentine's day ideas…they're all fabulous and 'love'ly 🙂

    This is so cute! Great idea…I just love the bunting! What is it about bunting that is just so cute?:)

  6. Jenni says

    This is so cute, Jen! The mini bunting is darling, and I love the pink you chose, too! 🙂

    This Christmas I made glitter ball ornaments out of styrofoam balls, but after I sprayed them with the Crystal Clear, it took a lot of the "bling" away. Did you find this to be the case when you used it? Yours looks so shiny and glittery! 🙂 I noticed it did help with keeping the glitter from coming off so much, though…Anyway, just curious. Maybe I did something wrong when I used it?

    I hope you are having a wonderful week!

    Blessings,
    Jenni

    So darling, Jen, as always! I love that itty bitty bunting! 🙂

  19. Beverly @ FlamingoToes.com says

    Oh I love it!!! It's so cute – I love projects that are changeable. I have hardly any storage so this is great!
    I'm really going to have to make something with bunting this year. 😉 Too cute.

  20. Kelli @ RTSM says

    I love the glitter! I have some red and white left over from Christmas that would be great for Valentine's day:) I love your cute bunting…one of these days I am going to make some too!

  23. Michele {The Scrap Shoppe} says

    Super cute! And interchangeable is right up my alley. I *love* those types of projects!

  25. Amanda @ Serenity Now says

    Fantastic!! You are a master at mixing cool fabrics together. I even thought of you when I was in JoAnn Fabric the other day trying to pick fabrics to go together. I am not good at it. :s

  29. bridget {bake at 350} says

    That is adorable! And my house is already covered in glitter from Christmas and disco dust from cookies….I might as well add a little more! 😉

  30. JC's Loft says

    How cute! I would have never guessed that was a green floral foam wreath to start out : )
