I love it! I made this wreath by buying a circular foam ring and wrapping some soft grey yarn around it. It looks like a lot of work, but it actually only took about an hour total and I just zoned out and watching TV while I wrapped.
I got the instructions for the flowers from take heart. Basically you take a piece of felt and cut out a circle (larger circle equals larger flower. These were about 6-7" in diameter). Then cut that circle into a spiral. Roll it up like a fruit-by-the-foot then hot glue the bottom. Voila! Flower! Check out the link above for further instructions.
I don't 100% love the ribbon I choose. I thought it would be preppy and cute, but it came off a bit too pink for my taste.
I made the "welcome" by bending some wire that I got in the jewellery section of a craft store. I did not do a superb job...but I think it is cute!

Not bad for a unique and stylish wreath! Plus I can always redo it for a different colour scheme one day!

That is totally cute! One suggestion if you redo the rinbbon - a thicker one might look a little bit better.
ReplyDeleteagreed! Im just too lazy to change it now. haha
DeleteThis looks super cute! I love the Welcome with bent wire, that is clever and really gives it some charm.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I stole the idea off some hangers I saw on etsy ;)
DeleteThat's so cute!! I love the welcome wire, too. Thanks so much for linking up!
ReplyDeletethank you! i like it too, but I need a little practice before I can get the wire nice and smooth
