I actually made this wreath a few weeks back but didn't get to share because I was posting about all the medical stuff. Now that it's temporarily behind me, I wanted to show the SUPER easy wreath that I made for Spring/Summer.
Of course, the idea came from Pinterest (what idea do I have that doesn't start there?).This is the original pin.
I got all my supplies together which only required 1 trip to Michaels believe it or not. (Not technically true because mom had to pick up the paint for me when she was there at some point.) I love the ribbon that I found. It's so feminine and springy without being flowery. I found some great flowers at Michaels but 1 bunch of daisies was $7!! Are you kidding? I headed over the Dollar Tree (thanks to some tips I picked up from other crafters online) and found these perfect flowers for $1. Yes! By using my 40% Off coupon at Michaels, I ended up spending about $5 for the whole project. Score!
One of my biggest hurdles when making anything is a bow. I am TERRIBLE at bow making. It shouldn't be that I hard to make some loops and tie it up and it look pretty but I just cannot figure it out. Usually I just ask mom to do it for me but this time I was determined I could do something easier for this wreath. Again, I took to the internet (what CAN'T you find on Google?) and searched for tutorials on bow making. I found this little gem that was perfect for this wreath. It wouldn't be good for every project but it was just right this day.
Here's my bow before I put it on. I put the tape measure next to it so you got an idea how long the tails were.
A little paint on the letter, some hot glue and VOILA! It was done. Putting it all together only took about 10-15 minutes. I made a loop and glued it to the back so that I would have a hanger for it. It probably doesn't need to hang down as long as it does but I wasn't going to go back and redo it. I'm really pleased with something so simple that I can now leave out throughout the spring and into summer.
