And she made it look so easy so I had to try one of my own. Hers turned out a lot more cozy and wintery because she used wool but I used what I had on hand.
So I layed out a tired sheet that had been in our closet forever. It was a pretty grey, so I thought why not? I went to town cutting it into 2" strips. Silly me didn't remember to take photos until much later. I'll do better next time I promise.
I went to Lowe's earlier that day and picked up some pipe insulation for 1.20 cut it in half and ducked taped it into a circle.
Instant wreath base for only .60 :)
Whip out your hot glue gun and cover the entire wreath base by wrapping a fabric strip around it and hot glueing as you go.
Then go crazy twisting and looping to make ripples and ruffles and hot glueing them in place. I did two lines around the circumference but I kind of wish I would have done three. Use your discretion until you get the look you like. Next, cut a small strip to make a hanging loop and hot glue it to the back.
I really love grey and yellow together so I made a fabric rosette out of an old yellow t-shirt to add a little pizzaz.
but it wasn't quite finished. It just needed something... you artsy people out there know what I mean... that gut feeling that it needs a finishing touch.
Yes this wreath deserved a little something extra...
BAM. Ahhh there it is! An even BIGGER flower!
This sweet wreath is now proudly hanging on my front door. I just love the romantic look of it.
