It wasn't too many years ago that I thought wreaths were only for Christmas but my crafty friends have educated me otherwise and I started looking at wreaths for other holidays. Insert pinterest here, with all their crafty homemade wreaths, and the desire to make own began to grow. Then I saw this
pinned and new I had to try it. My hubs nearly stopped breathing when I told him I
wanted to go to Home Depot. I love Patriotic colors and since 4th of July was coming up I decided to go with it.
I picked up some flowers from the wedding supply/floral shop and ribbon form Michael's and got to work!
I soon realized that I had vastly underestimated how many flowers it would take to cover my wreath. So I went out and bought more :/ I ended up with this happiness.
What did I learn from this project? I love the satisfaction of the finished product. I also will probably never do one like this again. Those flowers were too expensive! I may attempt a much more simple wreath in the future.
In the meantime stay tuned for the Parts Two and Three of my Happy Fourth of July!
at least you hopefully wont have to make another 4th nof july one now. it looks a whole heck of a lot different now than the first picture you sent me. very nice :)
