Well you will remember that I said I was using an idea from Tatertots and Jello to make a wreath for our house. Well I bought all the stuff I needed for it right away and worked on cutting a kajillion burlap flowers for a couple of nights. That stuff is seriously itchy!!! Anyhow I found some fabric that I liked and cut those flowers out another night. I spent one night making the actual flowers and stopped when I had 27 done. I needed over a hundred and it was taking FOREVER!!! So I set it aside for about a week and during a particularly boring conference call I had to take the other night I finished it! I LOVE how it turned out! There are a few things that I learned from making this one that I will apply to a next one that I make but what a super easy, fun project!
So this is my final result:
I went with just a simple Welcome message on a piece of twill that says Live Long, Laugh Often, Love Much. Here are some closer shots of it!
So next time I will just use two types of fabric and will make more just burlap flowers. It was hard to layer it without having too much of the same look concentrated in one spot.
The unfortunate thing is that I can’t hang it on my front door. My screen door is too close to it and it won’t fit between them. So I’ve just hung it at my entrance for now. Anyhow, I can’t wait to do another one, I like the idea of updating it for the seasons. I have lots of ideas now!
