and I’m so excited to be swapping blogs today with It’s So Very
Cheri! She is one talented lady!

Today
I’m going to share a tutorial for fun

summer wreath

 

 I just finished.

Super easy and inexpensive…two things I LOVE!

I
started out with this ugly wreath from Michaels (that cost about $2).
Next I spray painted it robbin egg blue. Make sure to do a few coats to
get through all the branches!

Then I made a few different kind of
fabric flowers. I mainly made these rolled
flowers, but the blue one is a fire
flower!!

I laid them all down on the wreath
and decided it needed to be a little different… a little more summery!
🙂

*Whenever I’m doing a project I like to take a picture and see how
it looks on camera before gluing every thing down. Does any one do this?? Or
am I just crazy! haha

So I made a few ruffled flowers to
go underneath the rolled flowers. This was all using scrap fabric… a great
way to use it up! I also added some tulle in between the layers as well.
Tulle just makes everything cuter!

After I knew I had everything where
I wanted it, I began hot-gluing it down. Don’t you just love those things?
You can tell mine has been used A LOT!

Then I made a “sash” for it to hang
by…you could just use a fat
ribbon for this part…but I
didn’t have a white ribbon as big as I wanted…so I decided to make it. I
used that fabric on these
curtains. Same technique!

After I made my sash I sewed it on
top to give it extra strength and hung it over my mirror.

Just what my mirror
needed!!

So what do you think?! Please let
me know if you have any questions.

Thanks Cheri for having me today on
