<p class="has-text-align-left">Crafting has done amazing things for our family. We love making things together and it&#8217;s become a thing on who can come up with this week&#8217;s craft. I hope that you are all spending quality time together as a family. As military families, we don&#8217;t know when our loved ones have to go away. Anyways, I got a little sentimental on you. This week&#8217;s craft is&nbsp;a very easy and simple Valentine&#8217;s Day decoration. I even did two because the first one turned out to be super easy.</p>



<p>This&nbsp;Valentine&#8217;s Day wreath is super easy! I love changing up the wreath on my door and sometimes I decorate with them in our home too. I made a small one but you can make it using a larger wreath base too. I chose to go with the stick wreath.</p>



<p><strong>Supplies:</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong><a href="https://amzn.to/3YL3bQ2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Valentine&#8217;s Day Garland</a></strong> </li>



<li><strong><a href="https://amzn.to/4ba6eIS" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wreath Ring</a></strong></li>



<li><strong><a href="https://amzn.to/4qvMUdN" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fake Flowers </a></strong>(optional)</li>



<li><strong><a href="https://amzn.to/3LJJJ3d" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Scissors</a></strong></li>
</ul>



<p>That&#8217;s it no glue! You can actually take the garland off of the wreath if you want to re-use the garland for something next year. Here we go! Are you ready?!</p>



<p><strong>Directions:</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Grab your wreath ring and your garland. </li>



<li>Find a spot to tuck the garland in and begin wrapping the garland around the wreath. It doesn&#8217;t matter which direction you start just keep going around the wreath with the garland until it&#8217;s covered or you run out and need another garland to add to it.  </li>



<li>Keep wrapping until it&#8217;s covered. </li>



<li>I had little extras to add to it. You can find these fun little additions at a one price store or craft store in your town. It wasn&#8217;t&#8217; expensive and it looks super cute and custom like in the stores.</li>
</ul>

<p>It&#8217;s very simple, you can get the kids to help out with this craft too. They will have a ball wrapping the garland and getting it everywhere. Trust me on that! </p>



<p>Happy Crafting, Creating, and Decorating!</p>
