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


 

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.

Conversation heart wreath hanging on door

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
Conversation hearts turned into a wreath hanging on door

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.

      I saw this and had to do it with me being a conversation hearts lover! I have double doors so had to make two.

    I made it to this project through Mad in Crafts on FB. actually not time consuming at all, and my wife loves it! I recommend laying a line of hot glue enough for 5-6 hearts and sticking them that way. SUPER easier than gluing each…individual…heart.

    Might be a silly question but approximately how long does this wreath last?

      Hi Vanessa, that is not a silly question! Though I am unsure how long this wreath will last because I, myself have just made this not too long ago, I can say that if you would like to preserve the life of this wreath you can spray a sealer on the outside of it. I’d imagine that would hold it up for longer, and help resist against any outdoor elements or bugs. :)

    Made several of these last year but used royal icing to attach, that way the kids pulled off the candy and ate it all. Wrapped the wreath with plastic wrap before attaching

    I’m worried about the outdoor elements…a little rain or dampness. Can I spray the candy wreath with a sealant? Wreath will be hung on door on front porch. Thank you ?

      Hi Arlene, absolutely! Just spray the wreath with an outdoor sealer to avoid that potential problem. :)

        Amanda, what sealant do you suggest as ALL I’ve tried either start dissolving the candies or make them run!?

          Hi Lora. I haven’t used a sealer on mine. I photographed the wreath outdoors but I actually hung it inside. I would say to use any acrylic based spray can sealer, however you need to hold the spray can about two feet away from the wreath when spraying. Also, spray in several THIN coats, allowing each coat to dry in between. Applying a thicker coat will definitely cause the words to bleed.
