Easy Valentine Burlap Wreath Tutorial – Frugal Craft for Under $10

December 14, 2018 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Crafts, Pinterest, Valentine's Day

Easy and Frugal Valentine Burlap Wreath Tutorial

I made this wreath last year for Valentine’s Day and I love it! It was so easy and very cheap. I got all of my materials at Hobby Lobby in two separate trips so I was able to use two 40% off coupons.

Supplies:

1 or 2 wire hangars (I used two and wired them together) – FREE
2-3 yards of Red Burlap – $5.98 (use 40% off coupon)
Letters ‘X’ and ‘O’ in Chipboard – $2.49 each. I used a coupon for one so paid $3.49 total.
Two sheets of scrapbook paper – $.59 total (on sale for 50% off)
Ribbon – already had on hand
Mod Podge – already had on hand
X-ACTO Knife – already had on hand

Directions:

Stretch your hangar into a circle or unhook it to put two hangars together. I just overlapped mine to the desired size.
Lay the fabric out flat and measure 5″ widths and cut.
Begin putting the fabric on the hangar going back and forth until the whole strip is on. Repeat until the hangar is full.
Twist the hanger back together to close. I had to get more fabric later because all they had was 1 1/2 yds! You will want it to be much fuller than this!
To make the letters, lay the scrapbook paper face down and glue the letters on using the Mod Podge.
Once dry, trim the paper around the letters with an X-ACTO knife, then Mod Podge the surface to seal and provide a shine.
Glue the letters together with hot glue and then glue the ribbon onto the back.
Loop over the top of the hangar and add a bow to cover. Ta-da!

Try it and let me know how it turns out! I plan to make one for Easter too!

Chocolate Dipped Cookie Dough Hearts

Is anyone else a cookie dough eater? What is it about this sweet treat. Often my cookies get eaten raw before the make it to the oven to bake. We have the perfect treat for the cookie dough and chocolate lover! These Cookie Dough Hearts are the perfect treat. Serve for Valentine’s Day or any ole’ reason. Enjoy!

Chocolate Dipped Cookie Dough Hearts:

Yields: 25 – 35 hearts (may vary depending on size of cookie cutter used)
Total Time: 20 minutes + 30 minutes cool time = 50 minutes

Ingredients:

1 cup flour
2 tablespoons flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, softened
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
6 tablespoons brown sugar
½ teaspoons vanilla extract
2-3 tablespoons water
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 cups milk chocolate chips
Optional: decorative sprinkles

Directions:

Combine flour, baking soda, salt, sugars, softened butter and vanilla extract in a large bowl. With clean hands, work the dough. Add 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and continue to work the dough until chocolate chips are incorporated. One tablespoon at a time, add water if needed to get the desired consistency.
Lay a piece of parchment paper on a large flat surface (baking sheet or cutting board works well). Place the dough onto the parchment paper and spread it out evenly until the thickness reaches approximately 1/2”.
Place the cookie dough in the fridge to cool for 20 minutes.
Once cooled, use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out hearts from the dough (smaller cookie cutters work best to make bite sized pieces). Combine the scrap dough continually to make as many hearts as possible.
Once all dough is used, place 2 cups milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 15-20 seconds, stir and continue this process until chocolate is completely melted. Place one heart in the chocolate at a time and completely coat. Using a fork lift the cookie dough heart out of the chocolate – tapping the side of the bowl to ensure excess chocolate drips off. Place the chocolate covered heart back on the parchment paper, and quickly add sprinkles (if desired) while chocolate is still melted. Continue this process until all cookie dough hearts are covered in melted chocolate.
Chill in the fridge for 10 additional minutes and then serve.

*Cookie dough hearts should be stored in the refrigerator
