Typically Valentines Day is not some blown out hyped-up holiday in our house. We try to celebrate and teach our children that love, affection and happy hearts should happen everyday.
But in the spirit of creating something special that I could admire and look at all month, I created this heart boxwood wreath.

You may remember, I made this wreath last month.  I couldn’t help venturing out to the backyard and collecting a handful of boxwood clippings to make another wreath.

I found that keeping the boxwood wreaths in a colder environment and misting it with water every so often, helps it from not drying out so quickly….so you can enjoy it longer.

  1. Love the wreath Laura!…My hubby is getting ready to take out some of our boxwoods that are not looking so great, so I shall salvage some branches to make one of your gorgeous wreaths…thanks for the tutorial!
    Happy Snow Day!

  2. I was JUST at a florist that wanted $50 for the exact same wreath!! No kidding. Good for you! It looks great.

    Wonderful to be co-hosting with you.

  3. Laura, I found a tutorial online for preserving boxwood. I'll try to Google it again and send it to you. It involves lots of glycerin, floral dye and several weeks time.

    As abundant as boxwood is, though, the easiest choice may be to make a new wreath every few months! Love your heart shaped one.

  4. Oh Laura! This wreath is fabulous!! I'm constantly snipping boxwood from my parent's yard for just such projects… I just can't seem to get enough of it. I saw back around Christmas that Miss Mustard Seed shared a link to a boxwood preserving tutorial – I haven't attempted that yet but I am planning to try it. I think it would definitely pay off in the long run! Thank you for this fun project inspiration!!

  5. What a pretty wreath Laura. The best thing about it is that it is green… a welcomed sight in winter. Oh, and another thing… it looks so easy to make! I have boxwood in the front of StoneGable, and would love to try this, as soon as the snow melts. I'm also so inspired when I visit! xo
