This adorable DIY Valentine Wreath is an easy and thrifty Valentine's Day craft to make with kids. All you need is a dollar store puzzle, a recycled cardboard box, and simple art supplies!
Separate your puzzle pieces into 4 groups of 25 pieces each. Paint one group white, one group red, one group hot pink, and one group light pink.
Apply a second coat of pain if needed and allow pieces to dry completely.
Download, print and cut out our free heart wreath pattern. Trace pattern onto cardboard and cut.
Use a hot glue gun to attach the puzzle pieces to your cardboard heart wreath so that all the cardboard is covered.
Apply a second layer of puzzle pieces on top of the first layer.
Cut a 1" x 11" rectangle out of white card stock.
Use a red marker to write the message “Love You To Pieces” in the center.
Cut a fishtail in each end of the cardstock, then fold the ends into a "Z" or zig-zag shape. Attach each end of the paper banner to the heart wreath, so that it crosses the middle of the wreath.
Measure and cut two twelve-inch long pieces of red and white twine. Glue one piece of twine to the back of the wreath to use as a hanger. Tie the other piece of twine into a bow and glue to the front of the wreath.
