Burl'happy'

My friend Stephanie hosted September Crafty Club two weeks ago. She chose a cute & easy wreath that will look good on all of our homes'  front doors for the Fall season :)

This lovely sign welcomed us near her front door...


A table full of sweet craftiness...


Tucking burlap ribbon into the slats of the metal wreath...


So many rolls...


The main part of the wreath finished...


Janine and Sarah...


I then added a chevron bow to the wreath (with the help of Stephanie because
I'm lacking in bow-tying talent)...


I then added a letter B and hung it on our front door...


See that blob of paint on the right hand side of the door? That's one of my my next
project -- painting the front door a bright color. Fun stuff.




This is what you need to make this wreath:

Box wire wreath form (whatever size you like)


6" wide roll of burlap
Tuck the burlap in and out of the wire slots to make 'poofs'


Decorative roll of burlap (also 6") to make the bow


Wooden monogrammed letter (whatever letter you prefer)


And floral wire to attach the letter to the wreath wherever you'd like 
(I hung mine because that's where I thought it looked the best)

A sleek wreath


This month's Crafty Club was hosted by my friend Erin, and wow did she go all-out on preparing for this craft! We made some shabby chic style wreaths and I think they turned out great. 

Erin purchased smaller Styrofoam craft wreaths at Hobby Lobby, and then created some larger/wider Styrofoam wreaths using pool noodles & duct tape (very creative I must say). She let us choose between a smaller or larger wreath. I chose to make a smaller/narrower one. 

Erin bought an assortment of yarns for us to wrap around the wreaths. I chose the three colors below: grey, a mustardy yellow and white.


And then we started wrapping and hot gluing....and wrapping....

....and wrapping some more....

 ....until I got the whole thing wrapped up!

Sarah added a little chevron section to her wreath. Love it.

For the finishing touch, Erin showed us how to create flowers using strips of burlap. I chose to use grey and off-white burlap. Then I glued them onto my wreath in a cute little bunch.

Andi, so proud of her wreath :)

Janine showing off her masterpiece....

Finishing up....at 11:00 at night!
Time flies by when you're having fun.

Here's my finished wreath, with flowers and all. I haven't decided where I'm going to hang it yet or how I'm going to hang it. One of my options is to use this cute little chevron burlap ribbon, below:

Or a wider chevron burlap, like this:

I'm sure it will take me FOREVER to decide where to hang it (or set it) because that's just how I am. But once I do decide I'll be sure to post a photo of it!
