Conversation Heart Wreath

This conversation heart wreath comes together easily and is by far the sweetest door decor you’ll ever make, just in time for Valentine’s Day!

Conversation Heart Wreath

You know Valentine’s Day is coming when grocery stores start carrying bags of conversation hearts. You’ve probably seen a variation or two of the conversation heart wreath, and I’m going to show you how to make one. It’s easy, but does take about an hour. So get comfortable and break out the Valentine candy hearts and your glue gun!

I’ve made a few different conversation heart crafts in the past, but they have always been kid-centered. This conversation heart wreath is a fun adult craft project that anyone can make. I don’t usually hang anything on my door for Valentine’s Day, but now that I’ve made this wreath, I will be.

To make this wreath you will need:

• 2 bags of conversation hearts
• 16-inch foam wreath form
• Hot glue gun
• Glue sticks
• Pink ribbon
• Wreath hanger

There are two steps to making a conversation heart wreath:

1. Glue conversation hearts all over the front/visible side of your wreath form.
2. Tie a ribbon on the front.

BOOM.

Done.

This cute candy heart wreath is a fun project for adults and teenagers. Kids could certainly make this candy wreath too, but as I said you do use a glue gun. So use your best judgment as to whether or not your child is ready to use hot glue, and I recommend parental supervision.

A Few Quick Tips

1. This conversation wreath is not edible.
2. If you are worried about the elements, spray the finished wreath with an acrylic sealer. Aleene’s Clear Matte Acrylic Sealer is a great choice. This will also help prevent bugs from being drawn to it.
3. If spraying the wreath with a sealer, be sure to hold the nozzle at least two feet from the wreath and spray in thin coats.
4. I use extra long glue sticks so I don’t have to refill too often, I ended up going through 5 sticks. I also use a stand up hot glue gun. You could use regular craft glue, but it will take a lot longer to dry. You will also need to be prepared to continuously push candy hearts back into place as they slide around. I suggest just using a glue gun instead.
