Super Easy and Fun Project!

Once in a while I come up with an idea that works out to be incredibly easy and fun.   I love when that happens!  Today's post is one of those projects.  I wanted to put some new wreaths on my front porch and decided to make them myself.  Here's what I designed. 



Here's a close-up of the flowers:

Here's how you do it:
  • Purchase 2 grapevine wreaths.
  • Get out your Fun Flowers die and your Big Shot.
  • Cut 4 layers of fabric at a time, with a CS shim.
  • Cut 1 entire package of our fabrics.  
  • Cut 2 more burlap flowers of chocolate burlap.
  • Cut 2 more burlap flowers of crumb cake burlap.
  • Assemble the flowers, using 2 layers of each size/shape per flower.
  • You'll need 8 flowers per wreath if you do them like mine.
  • Add an Antique Brad to the center of each flower.
  • Attach flowers to wreaths, using a hot glue gun.
Note:
These supplies will be enough to make TWO wreaths.

Give this project a try because it is so worth the effort and didn't even take all that long to make both wreaths.  I added a wire to the back of each of my wreaths, so they won't blow off the hooks when it's windy.
