Spring Wreath How To

By

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!

    Layla,

    What a beautiful wreath you created! Love how you incorporated the twig. I should hang one on our door. Perhaps it will inspire the sun to shine and melt all the snow we got last night!

    Your Friend,

    Hi Layla! I’m so excited to be joining one of your parties for the first time! I always love everything you do and find such great inspiration here. I have also loved reading about your adoption journey as I, too, am an adoptive mother (twice over) and have shared some of my story on our blog. My sister and I just recently launched a new blog together and I see that she has already linked up to this party (#52) and I’m thrilled to be part of the fun too (#211). Thanks so much for hosting and I’m going to go hop around and see what everyone else is up to! 🙂
