Good Morning dear readers, I realized I have not made a wreath since Christmas. I obtained a lot of supplies and even the wreath form several weeks ago from that great yard sale. But I was looking for something a little different. I live in an apartment which as you know most complexes will not let you paint and their walls are almost always white-mine is peach(yuck). I wanted color some kind to brigthen up these walls. Well I was in wal-mart's craft and sewing section and low and behold I found it. A beautiful roll of blue and white polka dot burlap ribbon this was perfect and not to expensive. With all the deals I got, it probably cost about $5-$6 to make this wreath. The burlap being the most expensive item around $3. It took me about an hour to complete this project. Here's a list of items to make this type of wreath.
wreath form-$.25 at yard sale
snow cone tiles-$.10 each got these from thrift store but I did see some at Joanne's craft store
pink butterfly's-3/$1 at dollar tree
silk flower-$1 for a bunch at yard sale
burlap ribbon-$3? at wal-mart
I wrapped the wreath in the burlap and secured with pins. Then used Elmer's glue all to place the butterfly's and snow cones on the wreath. I let sit for a few minutes to hold the items in place. Tucked the flower in the burlap and there you have a new wreath for spring or summer. Enjoy the colors and Happy Spring.
