My Christmas Wreath!

Don't you love when a plan comes together and especially when it comes together better than the picture in your head!

 I teased you with this a few days ago. These have become a bit of addiction for me, it's something about playing with fire I think! I showed you how to make them here. Once I made some I began to think hmmm.... what can I make with these other than the usual headband or lapel pin.

I started with one of these inexpensive wreaths from Hob Lob, 2 bucks on sale I think. When I use these straw wreaths I always leave the plastic on that way I don't have messy straw everywhere.

I found this dark olive green fabric in the clearance bin and decided it was just what I was looking for! I cut pieces of it and kinda gathered them and pinned them in with straight pins.

You can see it's messy from the back, no one is looking back there!

Ooops, sideways pic, oh well you get the idea.

I took another sheer green and wrapped it around the wreath and then some metallic gold ribbon. Sorry about these pictures I had to take them at night and they just didn't turn out well.

Ta da! I glued the flowers on and a few leaves and berries and that was it!  I love this so much! The colors are just so pretty together, much better than I imagined!

I finally took this outside so I could get good shots of the color.

Aren't they pretty? I want to make a bunch more and use them as bows on our gifts. Playing with fire worked out well this time!
