Monogramed Wreaths!!!


Okay, so I started with a wooden L (from shopko) That was the size I wanted, and spray painted it yellow (so the brown wouldn't show through the yarn. Then I wrapped it in yarn (securing it with hot glue).



Next I got a dollar store pool noodle, and cut about a foot off with a kitchen knife (it cuts so easily) And duck taped it together.

 I cut the legs off some of my daughter's tights right at the crotch, and then snipped the toe off.... Here is where I realized I would have to untape my noodle to slip the tights on...whoops! I put both legs of tights on the noodle, and re-taped it. ;)

 Here's a back view of the "feet" on the back of my wreath...(even has a no slip rubber grip LOL!)
I made a second smaller ring, slipped the tights on it, and wedged it inside (I wanted a larger wreath, not a wimpy one) Then I cut strips of burlap and tied the two rings together at the top.
 I glued the L on first, and then made an assortment of felt/fabric flowers, and glued them on. (I also added a burlap flower to tie the bow on top in)

Easy DIY Easter Wreath!



Sooooo I started with this plain grapevine wreath I got at a thrift store for 50 cents! Had a couple things on hand, and got EVERYTHING else at the dollar Tree!
I stuffed some green moss between the vines all the way around. I got the moss at the dollar tree!
I started gluing the different mosses, and a few coffee filter flowers onto the bottom right!
I made a nest out of some burlap I had laying around, I just did it like a rolled rose, until it was the size I wanted. Glued in a couple eggs, and a bird (the birds come 2 in a package at the Dollar Tree!) And glued more moss around the nest area until it looked like I wanted!
Then I cut triangles out of some scrapbook paper, and hot glued them to the left over burlap, stamped on the letters S-P-R-I-N-G, and glued them to the jute. The Jute is tied to some kabob sticks I had in the pantry, I just painted them blue, and snapped them in half, and stuck them in on the sides!
I cut a strip of burlap and tied a big knot at the top to hang it by!

Here it is on my door! What do you think!? I think I need to paint my door! ;)
