I don’t ever want to fool you all.
My life isn’t full of pink, glitter & gold.
It’s more like glittered dust bunnies, dated gold light switches from the 80′s & white socks that are now tinted pink because I have zero laundry skills.
But just to be clear…I love a pink sequins & gold combo.
It has to be one of my faves.
So when Simplicity sent me this delicious strand of stretch PINK sequin trim, I squealed just a little.
After all, pink is my signature color.
Remember I have pink tinted socks.
I already knew the perfect thing to add to the pink sequins trim.
Gold dipped feathers with glitter. Insert some more squeals.
Because you know, Valentine’s Day is approaching & Mr. Cupid is working full time…
I thought maybe he would like to have a gold painted arrow along with some gold tipped feathers with glitter.
Because you know, who wouldn’t like to be struck with gold tipped arrows for Valentine’s Day?
I know, I wouldn’t mind.
Isn’t it gorgeous, if I do say so myself?
Here’s how I made it:
Along with the stretch sequins trim from Simplicity, I used my husband’s drill & matched up the width of a wooden dowel to a drill bit & drilled 2 holes in my heart wreath form. Then I sat & watched tv while I hot glued the sequins to the wreath. ( Nothing like some Lifetime love drama TV, while you’re doing a Vday project
) I also used some metallic gold craft paint for the wooden dowel & recycled cardboard that I cut to make the point & ends of the arrow & attached those with hot glue to the dowel.
I upcycled a gift bag & made a paper medallion & used gold stickers for lucky number 14.
Oh Valentine’s Day…how I love you so.
It’s a celebration of all things pink, sequins, glitter & gold…with a lots of chocolate sprinkles added on top!

Love your blog, just found via Pintrest! I wonder if you would mind answering a few questions about this project?
How wide is the trim, I can’t find it on the Simplicity site ? Also what size is your wreath form.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful creativity !
hello! thanks for stopping by! the sequins trim is 7/8″ & they do have the trim at JoAnn’s craft & fabric stores, if you have one around where you live. i also purchased the heart wreath form there as well!
thanks! I couldn’t find it on the simplicity site either!
not sure what happened – but Joann’s carries the sequins trim as well.
SUPER cute!
thank you, christi!
I’m here from Tatertots & Jello–LOVE your wreath! I can’t get enough of pink & gold either. How did you make the gold feathers?
aww. thanks for stopping by! i dipped my first feather in the gold paint, than i decided just to paint on the gold paint with a small (child’s) paintbrush. easy peasy!
This is one of my favorite Valentine’s projects I’ve seen. It’s so beautiful and I love the sparkle. Megan
you are so sweet! thank you!
SOOOO adorable! Can I ask, how hard was it wrapping that sequins around the heart? Any suggestions for wrapping it around the pointed parts? Sometimes it’s hard to keep it from puckering!
Thanks!
oh, it wasn’t hard at all! seriously, i just sat & watched tv while i glued it.
Its stunning, Kellie! Quite possibly the cutest Valentine’s wreath I’ve ever seen.
michele, you are too sweet! thank you!
LOVE This!! So beautiful!

This is so adorable Kellie!! I can’t wait to show my teen daughter, Valentine’s day is her favorite to decorate!! And the gold and sparkly ribbon are just her thing!! Thank you for sharing!!
thank you! i love that your daughter loves to decorate. so fun!
Love this! And I love the fact that I’m not the only one living with glittered dust bunnies!
kindred glittered spirits.
How many yards of sequins did you use?
i think it was between 4-5? yards
totally darling!
I LOVE this!! Would you be willing to make one for me???? Seriously – I’m not crafty at all (that’s why I love Etsy – I pay for others to do it!) Let me know
PS When will your store be back up?
Kellie!! I am dying over the cuteness here!! The sequins are so cute and I love the arrow so much!!
thank you so much, Bev! hope you have a great time at CHA!
I am also a fan of sequins!! The girls in my Bible study make fun of me b/c I get distracted by sparkly jewelry.
I LOVE this idea, Kelli.
I am in love with that wreath!! So pretty! Absolutely perfect for Valentine’s Day.
thank you so much!

There is something so pretty about this wreath.. Perhaps it’s the sweet sentiment, or the touches of bling. Whatever it is, I have pinned this inspiration.
