I have been wanting a pretty spring wreath for our door, but I am kind of picky about wreaths. Lately I have been drawn to more vintage-y, girly, pretty things. So I decided to make a vintage-y girly, pretty wreath.
Here is what you need to make it:
- Foam Wreath
- Pins
- Pearls
- Fabric Flowers (I bought a bush of hydrangeas and pulled the blooms off)
- Scrap cloth for making a hanger
String a pearl onto one of the pins, then add on the flower.
Insert the pin onto the wreath.
Keep going...
And going...
And going...
Until your wreath is completely full.
Cut a strip of scrap cloth, hang, and enjoy!

ReplyDeleteOoooo, this is SO pretty! I love the way you hung it up too, the big floppy bow just makes the whole thing pop! Very nice work!
ReplyDeleteHi! I love the color and addition of the pearls! I noticed that there is a spring decor party going on at Inspired by Charm. You should check it out. Here's the link http://www.inspiredbycharm.com/2011/03/welcome-to-my-little-party.html

ReplyDeleteAnd thanks Jane! I linked up - so thanks for referring me :)
Allison,
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty, feminine wreath! Oh so beautiful on your white door.
I am making this one for sure. I just might make tiny wreaths and use them for napkin rings. Perfection!
You have a lovely blog!

Thanks Yvonne! I think a version of this would make really pretty napkin holders - just maybe with hot glue instead of pins :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed my blog!
Oh my gosh, I LOVE this! I have an obsession with purple flowers an this is just gorgeous! I love how you added pearls! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! And you must have tons of patience!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa and Angie!
ReplyDeleteAngie - it really didn't take that long... maybe an hour to an hour and a half. But my neck sure did hurt from looking down at it :) Glad you like it!
This is stunning! And I love that you use pins instead of hot glue! The pearls just make it so sweet and lovely.

Absolutely beautiful!! You definitely achieved the girly, vintage vibe you were going for. :)
ReplyDeletewow that is beautiful! looks like you put some time into that baby!! Great job!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful. I will be copying your idea. We have double front doors and this looks like a fairly inexpensive way to decorate them.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and simple. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love this!! Thanks for the idea, I might try to make one this weekend.
