Fall Wreath

Wanted to show everyone my new Fall wreath I finally got hung up. I know it's not technically Fall YET but it's back to school and well my 4th of July wreath had to be retired. I love Fall and can't wait to get started pulling out all my decor! Hope to see lot's of other crafters showing their new season wreaths!

I used a styrofoam wreath, wrapped it in yarn (I hate doing that part) then I added a little piece of burlap for fun and made three large size flowers. Two from felt and the middle one from a very cute fabric I got at Joann's that had the same fall colors as I used through out and cute little mushrooms all over it.

XOXO,

4th of July DIY Wreath!

Goooood morning! Can you believe it it's almost SUMMER! School will be out soon so I figured I better get some crafting in before I have a kiddo taking over my computer and all my crafting supplies LOL! Today I Finished my 4th of July wreath. I only bought the wreath a few weeks back and a little decoration for under $2 at Hobby Lobby. BTW Hobby Lobby is the best place to buy your wreaths. The stick one I used today I got in the floral section. The foam ones that I wrap I find in the crafting section by the paper supplies and wood painting supplies. The rest is some antique lace ribbon I found for a few cents at a 2nd hand store last summer in Port A (yes I love going to resale stores ALL over LOL even on vacation!) and then I used a "flag" printed ribbon. You also need your glue gun! 

As you can see I made a big bow with tails to put up top. Then around the wreath I randomly placed rose bud flowers I made with the lace ribbon all over. I also used what I had laft of the lace and added it to the back of my bow. Now the "Liberty" decoration had a wire to hang it. I used my wire cutters and snipped it out and the loop hooks. The wire had a small star on it. I snipped it off and put it in the center of my bow. Then I glued the "Liberty" sign to the bottom of my wreath. And WAL-LA! Now I just need to go buy a wreath hanger for my door because I have NO clue where mine is.....hmmmmm maybe under my giant pile I have over here and crafts and coupons HA! ;-)

Hope you like it! Get inspired and make your own Summer wreath and share it with me. I am thinking a wreath  wrapped in yarn with sea shells is in my near future! 

I will make another big bow with tails soon and put up the tutorial for everyone. 

Easter Wreath

Sorry for the delay! But here is how I made that super cute DIY Easter egg wreath for my MIL. If could also be a Spring wreath. Kiss your finger tips cause they will be hurting in a little while LOL!
Supplies:
Wreath of your choice, I chose one that I did not have to wrap. I liked the "twig" look since I'm using Easter eggs to decorate.
Plastic eggs
Yarn colors of your choice
Hot glue gun
Glue sticks
Scissors
Ribbon or twine to hang the wreath
Any other "extras" you want to add to make your Easter egg wreath POP














I started by gluing each egg around the seal. This prevents the egg from popping open as your holding it tight to wrap it with the yarn. After you have glued the eggs shut start wrapping the eggs. I used a few different "styles " LOL. I tried wrapping them neatly thennnnnnn I went into a chaotic wrap that went much easier. 

I forgot to take pictures of how I added all my "extras" but what I used is stuff from around my house. I had a bunch of crafting moss I used to make a "nest" look. Then I pulled fake flowers apart and used them in the moss. Added my eggs and WA-LA! Now just add ribbon or twine to hang your beautiful new DIY Easter Egg / Spring Wreath.

XOXO,
Jess
