Dollar Store Triple Heart Valentine’s Day Wreath

I love creating seasonal decor with dollar store items. I’ve been blogging for 13 years and creating dollar store projects has been something I’ve enjoyed sharing over that time. The dollar store has so many cute Valentine’s Day decor and craft items. If you’ve never checked out your local dollar store, be sure to stop in. The items in this tutorial are from Dollar Tree.

Dollar Store Valentine’s Day Items

This tutorial uses three dollar store heart wreath forms. Each one is $1, so for $3 I created a bright and colorful Valentine’s Day door hanging! I used leftover Christmas ribbon which saved me money. Tip – you can find Christmas ribbon on clearance after the holiday for up to 90-percent off!

Use Three Dollar Store Heart Wreath Forms

Instead of making one heart wreath for my door hanging, I thought it might be fun to use three and hanging them all together for a statement. I wrapped each wreath in ribbon and then attached them together with coordinating ribbon.

Add a Statement Bow

I added a big bow to the top of the wreath. To make this bow, you wrap two pieces of ribbon around your hand four times with two ends. Then you separate the rolls on each side and pinch the center of the ribbon and use wire to tie it securely. Then you fan out the rolls to make the bow.

Hang the Wreath with a Loop

Cut a piece of ribbon at 8 inches, use hot glue to close the loop. Then glue the loop to the top of the wreath and hang it up!

Coordinate with a Dollar Store Heart Banner

I added a dollar store felt banner to the front door and I love how they coordinate together. The dollar store heart wreath banner is one of the most popular ideas on my site and SO easy to make! For $3 you can create a banner that is perfect for your porch, on your mantel or anywhere else you want to put it!

More Heart Ideas for Your Porch

I added a few more heart touches to go along with the triple heart wreath.

Valentine Tree

I took an evergreen tree, added heart die cuts with big glue dots to the branches. I added a matching bow to the pot.

XOXO Valentine’s Day Sign

I made a HOHOHO holiday sign in December, I decided to use the back of that sign to make a XOXO Valentine’s Day sign! All I did was spray paint the other side of the sign. Then I spray painted some XOXO letters white and hot glued them onto the back of the sign = voila! A bright and happy sign for for Valentine’s Day!

Red and White Porch Pillows

I added some red and white pillows to the porch and I love the way it all looks together!

Holiday Home Tour Candy Cane Porch

Hi there! Welcome! I’m so excited to be taking part of the Ten Days of Christmas Tour. I have LOVED seeing all of the amazing holiday projects. If you are stopping by from The Idea Room, I am sure you LOVED seeing Amy’s home. I love those tags she made. We have known each other for years and she is absolutely amazing!!

Today I am so excited to share my Holiday Plaid Candy Cane Porch!! There’s something magical about red and white at Christmas. Throw in some black and white plaid and you have a match made in heaven!

I kept things pretty simple with fresh Costco garlands around the door and windows. I had some red and white felt balls I wrapped around everything.

One of my favorite elements are the TINY red lantern lights. I found them on clearance last year and I am SO happy I scooped them up. I wrapped a strand around the door.

I also hung them all across the top of my porch. The glow is so beautiful at night. There is just something special about tiny lights.

Holiday Home Tour Candy Cane Porch

I had a difficult time with my planters. I had some pretty lavender trees in the planters throughout the spring and summer. The lavender couldn’t withstand the cold. I wanted to plant some green ball topiaries but they were so expensive. I ended up making $5 candy cane topiaries. I took some round mistletoe balls and put them on dowels. Then I put some big candy canes around the topiaries and tied it all up with a big bow. On top of the topiaries I placd a fresh green wreath (also from Costco). I think it looks so festive!

I added wreaths to each of my windows with red and white striped ribbon.

On the door I made a sweet little JINGLE village galvanized wreath. You can read more about my wreath on my Holiday Galvanized Wreath Tutorial.

By the door I placed my GIANT Jingle Sign. I love making giant signs for different holidays and occasions. They are so simple to make and the cost is just a few dollars!

The finishing touch was adding a little ribbon to the porch lights and some bright pillows.

I think the red and white look so pretty with my little blue door.

And the rug is a favorite! I found it on Overstock.com.

I hope you enjoyed my little porch tour!

Red and White North Pole Christmas Porch

Hello! I am so excited today to take part in Chris from Just a Girl blog’s Welcome Home Tour!!

You are in for a TREAT!! 20 beautiful homes for  holiday decorating inspiration. I am humbled to be included in this tour.

And it’s the last day of the tour, so be sure to go to the links at the bottom of the post and see all 20 homes. SO fun!!

Red and White North Pole Christmas Porch

I know I’ve mentioned before how much we LOVE where we live. We live in a huge community of colorful houses.

And every house has a porch, or two!! So it’s so awesome this time of year to drive through the area and see all of the ways people have decorated their porches!!

I love a theme and this year my home’s theme is NORTH POLE with a red and white scheme. I decorated our family room with a NORTH POLE tree: 

I made a North Pole sign and hung my stockings on a DIY ladder: 

The stockings are from TwentyEight12 on etsy.

My daughter’s room has a red and white theme.

My bedroom’s a little festive for the holidays:

The canvas is a Caroling Printable that is on my site…

My little Game Night kitchen eating nook has a red and white look:

And here is my Red and White North Pole Porch:

Red and White North Pole Christmas Porch

I love making giant typographic signs. They make a statement and I love the graphic look. PLUS it only cost me about $6 for the wood and I can paint something else on the back and flip it over for Valentine’s Day if I want.

I found some red and white pillows.

(it was a little windy the day I was taking pictures – can you tell??? LOL)

Red and White North Pole Christmas Porch

In my old neighborhood there was a home that always hung wreaths on all of their windows for the holidays and I think it reminded me of growing up on the east coast. So when we moved here I really wanted to do something similar. I tied a simple red and white bow on each wreath and I love the way they look.

I think the red and white theme looks pretty with our newly painted door.

I’ve had a lot of people ask me about the color of the door. It’s Sherwin Williams Tantalizing Teal. And I love it.

The wreath is from Michaels and it lights up. I added a cute fabric reindeer that I’ve had for a few years and never used. Then all I had to do was add a bow. SUPER easy.

The mat is from Ikea and I think it was under $10.

I was going to buy some lighted topiaries for the sides of the door but they were so pricey. So I just wrapped the planters I already had like presents and added some ribbon. I think that project cost me about $3.

Red and White North Pole Christmas Porch

I tied simple polka dot ribbon to my sconces and reused a garland I brought with me when we moved.

I love how bright and cheerful our home looks when we pull up. It makes me so happy to be here, starting a new chapter with my children.
