Last month, I
happened across a pin that led me to a website with 80 different wreaths! I have
to admit, I could not resist scrolling through to the very last one! My
eyes danced across the screen landing
first on a simple elegant all cream number, and then a buttery yellow
yarn delight.
The combinations of color and fabric are endless and allow
each crafter to create a masterpiece that speaks to their style. Yarn,
burlap, torn fabric, branches or pinecones…
you name it and we can make a wreath with it. Thank goodness it is
appropriate to have a wreath up on your door or mantel during every
season and every holiday. So let’s get to it!
Here are some wreaths featured on My blessed life (http://myblessedlife.net/),
a blog that I adore and get a lot of my inspiration from.
The recipe for a beautiful wreath is pretty simple. Gather all of your
scrap materials, leftovers from other projects and make pretties with
them. On this wreath that I made, I used a wreath form (Styrofoam or straw will do),
yarn, and a variety of scrap material and ribbon
to make flowers.
You will want to start by wrapping the yarn as closely
and evenly as possible around the form, using a hot glue gun to glue
into place.
I then took two kinds of ribbon and two different fabrics
and made flowers.I followed the tutorials from these incredible ladies here:

Here are my first attempts at flowers:
And my attempts at wrapping the wreath form:
The finished products:
The options are endless and the
seasons are abundant with reasons to make pretty wreaths. Good luck with
your next creation & God bless you all!!
