Spring Wreath How To

Feb 21, 2011 By Layla

Hey there! And welcome to our very first How To’s Day linky party!

The first project we thought we’d share is how we made an easy-breezy Spring wreath for our dining room. With March right around the corner, it was high time we replaced the evergreen one we’ve had hanging in there since Christmas.

It was super simple to make, and it was really fun deciding which colors and embellishments we wanted to use. We started with an inexpensive foam wreath form, and some chunky, off-white-colored yarn…

Our wreath form measures 14 inches in diameter, so it did take a little while to completely cover it. (Note: This part will go much faster if you have a second set of hands to help.)

We used hot glue to secure the beginning and end of the yarn, and after that, it was all about adding the embellishments…

(The flowers are actually hair barrettes!)

First up- a little twig we found in our backyard. We wrapped it with some fuzzy, moss green-colored yarn, and then hot glued it onto the wreath…

After that, we glued on some buttons, and added a spiral of twine to the center of the largest flower. Lastly, we attached some green and white striped ribbon to the top of the wreath so we could hang it on our screen door.

And there ya have it! A fast & fun, Spring wreath how-to!

Have you blogged about a how-to this month? If so, link it up, Buttercup!

If you know the linky party drill, feel free to ease on down, ease on down, the po-host. (name that movie)

If you’ve never linked up to a linky party before, here’s how it works…

1. Scroll down this page until you see the “add your link” button. Click it, and create a super-descriptive name for your link. This will make it easier for folks to browse.

2. Make sure you link to the How-To post you’d like to share- not to the main page of your blog.

3. If you’d like to invite some more peeps to the party, feel free to add this button at the end of your how-to post on your blog. Just copy and paste the code in the box below into the html part of your post, and voila!

Happy To’sday!

PS- All the supplies for this how-to came from Hobby Lobby.

    I love your wreath – especially the twine center of the flower, it’s little touches like that which really make something special!

    I love the wreathe and I love the how to party! I went out to Hobby Lobby immediately to try and be crafty for the first time ever. I mean seriously, I didn’t even own a hot glue gun!!! (I’m new to all this decorating and blogs and everything, I mean I just discovered all this stuff about a week ago) So anyways, my wreath is about halfway done and it looks adorable and my husband is super proud of me and is really excited about me making our home an even more beautiful place. Thanks to all of you who post your beautiful homes and projects and give me inspiration!!! 🙂

    I don’t know how your house looks like a magazine. My wife and I have been trying to copy you for over a year and we still are no where near “there”. Awesome!
