DIY Spring wreath

Over the weekend I was inspired to make a spring wreath. I know about time right. I've been seeing beautiful wreaths all over blog land and Pinterest and knew I had to try one myself. Here is what I came up with...

Supplies I used..

a straw wreath form

burlap

I used cotton t-shirts from Michael's to make the flowers

felt

ribbon

slate board

For some reason I was so into making putting it all together I forgot to take photos along the way!

I started by wrapping the wreath in the burlap. I used a hot glue gun to keep the burlap in place.

To make the flowers I roughly followed the tutorial at Kiki Creates. They were not too difficult to make as long as you don't mind burning your fingers on hot glue.  I had my daughter's cut the shirts into 2-3 inch strips. I used the felt as the base or bottom of the flowers. I tied a knot in end of fabric strip to use as flowers center and hot glued it on the center of a felt circle. Basically just twisted and wrapped fabric around and around forming a flower and gluing as I went along. Really just trial and error!

Have a great day and don't forget to come back tonight for Whimsy Wednesday features and link party!
