A Ribbon Wrapped Wreath

Here's a wreath I just finished.  I actually made 2 of them, to hang behind the bar in my studio.  I've used fabric and embossed CS for the flowers, with antique brads for the centers.  The wreath base is wrapped in our new 2-tone Basic Gray ribbon.

I also used some of the beautiful lace from our Artisan Embellishment Kit.  It's under the flowers.

Tip:
I followed a tip I found on Pinterest, to hang my wreaths.  I used a hook mounted upside down on the inside of the cabinet doors.  You loop the ribbon over the hook and then it goes over the top of the door.  This is a great solution for hiding a hook you don't really want to show and there's no damage to your cabinet doors.

By the way, the ribbon is absolutely yummy and it's very easy to work with it.  You'll love it!

I feel like I've been running to catch a bus and falling further and further behind.  Do you ever feel like that?  I have a chunk of time --- today, tomorrow and Wed. --- and I am bound and determined to spend these 3 days working like a dog.  Let's see what all I can get done.  All I need to do is ... oh, I don't even want to list it all.  It does include a lot of creating and, hopefully, finishing up my taxes - so my husband won't kill me.

Have a great day.  That puff of smoke was just me --- taking off on the run to charge into 3 intense work days.  I'm calling it Day 1 of my Work Like a Dog mission.  It will be fun (well not so much, when it comes to taxes); it will be madly insane; it will be busy... and, hopefully, it will be amazingly productive!!!  Have a good day.  Check back tomorrow and see how I'm doing:)  Oh, and while you're waiting, take a tour of my studio.  I could use the company.

Hang It Up --- Wreaths, Part 2

I have more wreaths for you today, so let's get started.

The first wreath starts out with a fabric wrapped styrofoam base.  My fabric is from our Flirtatious Designer Fabrics.  I added lots of delicious dotted ribbon and then a few flowers (from our Artisan Embellishment Kit) to give it an extra feminine look.  Just because it's a heart does not mean it's just for Valentine's Day.  This would be cute in a craft room or a little girl's room or most anywhere you'd like a touch of pink.

Here's a close-up of the flowers.  I used hot glue to attach them.

And here's yet another wreath ...

This one is wrapped with our gorgeous new ribbon and is embellished with elements from our Artisan Embellishment Kit.  I love the lace with it all.  The elegant details against the rustic look of the grapevine make a nice contrast.

And last, but not least...

This one also starts out with a fabric wrapped styrofoam base.  The embellishments are from the Artisan Embellishment Kit, along with the little sprig of bling at the top which is from my 'stash' of odds and ends of fun stuff.

I added a little seam binding ribbons in with the buttons and lace.

So, that's it for today.  I hope you enjoyed!

By the way, if you like wreaths and would like to try making one of your own, I have a class coming up on March 21 where we'll be making a Spring Wreath.  Maybe you'd like to join us!

Come back soon for more inspiration and fun projects, including the layouts we made last night at my Scraps and Prayers Class.  Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.
