Thank you for joining me for the Valentine’s Day Blog Hop! I’ve joined with 13 other talented bloggers to share Valentine’s Day crafts on a budget. Each blogger was given a budget of no more than $10 and challenged to create a Valentine’s Day craft using items from the dollar store or dollar section of their local stores. If you have budget Valentine’s Day crafts to share, please add it to the link-up at the bottom of this post so it can be seen on all of our blogs!

I am also joining the Budget Valentine Blog Hop and I am stopping by to see what great idea you had! My daughter has lots of yarn and loves to knit, so this is perfect for her! Pinning!
Every time I look at crochet projects I wish I could crochet. Such a neat way to create a wreath.
So fun and colorful! Really cute idea.

This is so beautiful! I never thought of crocheting a wreath! It turned out fantastic!
I love the look of the knitted wreath, now I just need to learn how to knit! Great job.
In my dreams I crochet that pretty. I have to stick with a simple stitch, someday I am going to learn more! Love how unique your wreath is and how bright the red yarn is. Such a pretty wreath.
Admittedly, my knitting/sewing/anything-cloth-related skills are few and far between, so I’m usually afraid of cloth-related crafts. I love your tutorial, even my wretched self could follow this! 😉
Adorable, I make crochet wreaths but I don’t one have a Valentine’s Day. Thanks for sharing and posting it on the Yarn Fantastic Party.
