Wreaths Glorious Wreaths!

    

Hello all!  Spring is here and I love it!  It is one of my favorite times of the year, besides Summer, Winter, and Fall!
About a year ago I started making wreaths.  I love them and I really enjoy trying t figure out how to make them for the least amount of dough.  I though I would put together a collection of my wreaths right here for you to check out in case you need inspiration.

Fun tip: One of the best places to find wreaths and supplies is Goodwill or your local thrift store.  You can get them very inexpensively at these stores.  Of course most of them are already covered in someone else's art, but wreaths are super easy to deconstruct. 

Another great place to find decorations for your wreaths are Dollar Tree.  I love to put one of their glitter signs on my wreaths.

Don't be afraid to think outside the box when it comes to crafting wreaths.  I have used cut up tshirts, ripped up fabric, holiday table runners, and burlap to wrap my wreaths. 

I like to use straw wreaths because they are super easy to wrap and pin with floral pics.  They are very forgiving if you are like me and realize you don't have enough burlap to wrap around the wreath until the very end and you have to restart to stretch your material!

Don't forget: Get thrifty when making wreaths - it doesn't have to be expensive.

This was my very first wreath to make:

Patrtiotic wreath using a cut up tshirt wrapped around the wreath and fabric rosettes

See how much more cute it is with a $1 sign from Dollar Tree?

 

 

Second one to make...still my favorite!  This is where I learned all about straw wreaths and floral pics

This is my burlap wrapped Halloween wreath.  I use 1/4 yard black burlap on a small wreath, added fake spiders, fabric rosettes, and a Dollar Tree sign that I embellished with glitter!

Wicker Wreath

6 Ft. holiday table runner

The magic of hot glue!  Tah Dah! I literally only added two sprigs of glittery greens and holiday ribbon as you can see below.

And my newest wreath for Spring:

1/2 yd. burlap, two sprigs forsythia, 3 sprigs small red flowers, 1 crazy cool thing of greenery, small bow made out of leftover fabric.

This is one of my favorites.  I love using burlap to wrap wreaths because it can look really messy and still look great (one of my mottos).  I bought the greenery and flowers at Hobby Lobby when they had them half off. the wreath is giant and is from Goodwill, and I just used some white swiss dot gauzey fabric that I have at the house.  I had originally planned to build the wreath with it, but it looked like a mummy.  So, I went with the classic burlap.  I do plan to add some orange flowers to this because I think it needs a little more pop!

So there you go.  All my wreath creations in one blog. 
Enjoy being creative with these.  I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Love ya,
