Wreath Win


Made this little beaut thanks to an inspiration from Pinterest for J's door. This pic is from my crappy camera phone so it looks purple-y, but it's burgandy :) I'm too lazy to unpack my camera and charge it up. 

It was my first time making a wreath and the only pain in the butt was the bow and working with floral wire around the "H" and the bow.

If anyone is curious how to make it, just YouTube "How to Make A Fall Wreath" and it's super easy. Basically you just pull all the florals apart from their bunches, trim them pretty short with wire cutters, and hot glue them inside the wreath. I painted the "H" with acrylic paint a couple times, polka dotted it in gold, and clear sprayed it to finish. The bow was horrendous. I can't make them for a darn, but YouTube came in handy a bit. 

All in all I spent about $25, but could have spent much much less had I had a coupon. If you have a 40% off coup from JoAnn's or Michael's, it would be like $15. Super steal and super cute!
