I have a thing for making wreaths. I just can’t help myself! And THREE wreaths is even better for this wreath-obsessed girl.


When you can make a trio of Valentine’s Day mesh heart wreaths from the same materials, it’s just too l-o-v-e-ly not to share. A $5 investment in mesh fabric and a crafty way to re-purpose all those metal dry cleaner hangers makes for some affordably easy Valentine decor.

So riffle through your closet for wire hangers and let me show you how I made them…

$5 Mesh Heart Wreaths for Affordable Valentine’s Decor

We all have metal dry cleaner hangers littering up our closets! I typically toss ours in the recycling bin but I guess I’ve been slacking on this “job” as we had amassed a small collection. Grab a few and let’s form them into heart shapes.

Supplies:
– Wire metal hangers
– Pliers (optional)
– Wire snips (optional)
– Decorative mesh (approx. 1 yard in each color)
– Craft scissors
– Ribbon

Begin by bending and shaping the hanger into something of recognizable heart shape.

Once – finally – in the classic Valentine’s Day heart form, you can use wire snips to cut off the hanger part. Or, bend and shape it to be flush with the heart form.

I got a yard each of three different colored mesh and I wanted each individual wreath to be slightly different.

I began the process by cutting long strips of mesh and wrapping it around the wire hanger. This formed a base to cover the wire hanger so it wouldn’t show through the mesh.

My goal for the heart trio was to have each one look different. Here’s how I did it:

  • The red wreath was created with lots and lots of small mesh ties;
  • The link pink wreath was created by wrapping mesh in several layers and secured with little mesh ties; and,
  • The fushia wreath was created by gathering the mesh in loops that were secured with mesh ties

Because these wreaths are made from mesh, they do quite well outdoors!

  2. We do have several metal hangers, though the mostly live in my closet since my husband hates them. My kids would love to make some of these wreaths (as long as I do the actual metal bending…)! Thank you for sharing at The Really Crafty Link Party! Pinned!

  4. Everything fades super fast here in Western Australia too. Don’t hang your laundry out for too long.. I’m going to have to remember this mesh tip. I like your red heart the best (but that’s probably because I’m not much of a pink fan)

  15. Victoria, I love how easy this sounds! And it’s given me an idea for a bunch of white tulle I have. I seriously love the way the mesh looks, and so glad to know it can be left outdoors too.

  17. What a fun and creative craft project! My husband gets a lot of his clothes dry cleaned, and it is always great to find some use for all those wire hangers. I love a good craft that doesn’t break the bank too. I may try and re-create this when with my granddaughters when they come or a visit next week!

  19. All three are really lovely.
    Here in the UK you really only see wreaths on front doors at Christmas, I think I’ve seen an all year round floral one once or twice but they are not really a thing. It’s a shame as ringing the changes all year is such a lovely idea.
    I like to think that people have lovely holiday decor but inside their houses where I can’t see it!
