No Really, this is easy!
It took me more time to take photos
and make this banner on Pic Monkey
than it did to make the wreath.
I like to have a wreath on the front door
(two actually, I have double doors).
I don't like the ones that I see in the craft stores
and I don't like the prices of the ones
that I see in the higher end home stores
or online, especially when I have to buy two.
I wanted something simple
so I bought flowers all in shades
of lavender and white.
I usually have a few grapevine wreaths
lying around that I have purchased
when they are discounted
but I really wanted a messy willow wreath
so I had to pay for it.
OK, I had one 40% off coupon
and the flowers were all 50% off
so it wasn't THAT bad.
I took apart the bunches of flowers
so that I had individual stems.
I just poked them in the willow
to see where I wanted them
and then wired them in really well.
You could hot glue them if you like.
I always burn my fingers
and then it makes it hard to type.
I layered the lavender and the
lighter shade with the white
and while I was looking for ribbon
I came across this initial
that I had in my craft stash.
I think I had it to make something for my mother
but I swear I can't remember what it was!
Sorry Mom!
Now it stands for
SPRING!
But you could just use any initial you like...
I wired the letter in
and then I will cover it with the flowers.
It's hard to tell how the finished product will look
so I like to hang it up inside
and fuss with it.
I added a few more flowers
and I was finished!
Now I have to make another one...
Hope you are all having a great week!
Until Next Time,
Beaux R'eves

ReplyDeleteCute!! Way to welcome your guests!! Love the polka dots!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful...I love the wispiness of the wreath and the wonderful lavender and polka dots!....
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Cindy..I've made a few wreaths..They just kinda happen..
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, love it too. Especially since our last name begins with S, & I'm crazy over monograms. Thinking I might be making this too.
ReplyDeleteRIGHT ON, girl!!! This is great!!! I already have a huge grapevine wreath on the front door with our monogram wired in. Maybe I can just add flowers to it for Spring. I love the wreath "as is" for everyday, but to make it more special I think I'll play with adding some Spring florals. GREAT tutorial with FABULOUS results!!!
ReplyDeleteYour wreath turned out so pretty! I love the colors and the polka dot ribbon. Thank you for sharing at What We Accomplished Wednesdays. Have a lovely week! ~Deborah
