Wreaths aren't just for Christmas anymore, friends. Seasonal wreaths are all over DIY blogs, Pinterest, and your over-acheiving neighbor's door. Since Spring is rapidly approaching, it's a great time to create a beautiful Spring wreath.
I created two simple wreaths that are equally vibrant and festive.
I really like the simplicity of this one. I just purchased a simple foam wreath from my local craft store, wrapped it with 7/8" ribbon, and hot glued 4 crochet flowers in coordinating colors.
Our ribbon is sold in 5 yard spools for $1.79. I wrapped the entire spool of Light Orchid around the tubing and decided to do an accent section of Green Apple instead of finishing the wreath in the same color. I think it's fun!
I decided to use the crochet flowers because I love their soft colors and elegance. At the last minute, I decided to add a single Petite Clippe at the top for a nice pop of pink and a little added cuteness.
Supplies
1 - Foam wreath from your craft store - approximately $3
2 - 7/8" ribbon - $1.79/each
4 - Crochet Flowers - $0.49/each
1 - Petite Clippe Hair Bow - $0.99
Total: About $8.00!!
I couldn't stop there though. I needed to make one that was bigger, brighter, and with LOTS more flowers!
Isn't it great? This time I chose a bigger foam wreath so it could hold more flowers, yet still have some empty areas for the pretty ribbon to show through. I selected a variety of flowers and arranged them on my wrapped wreath until I was happy with their placement. I considered not putting a ribbon at the top to use as a hanger, but since I had a scrap of 3/8" Baby Maize, I went ahead and attached it.
Since this foam was both bigger and thicker, it took two full spools of 7/8" ribbon and still left about an inch unwrapped. I just covered that spot with flowers!
