Actually, April showers just bring more May showers, so I'm making my own flowers. Emily at Jones Design Company is having a week of flower making tutorials. If you haven't already checked out her posts from Flower Week you will definitely want to. I adore everything Emily makes.
Our front door needed a new spring wreath and I've been looking around for inspiration. As soon as I saw Emily's post yesterday, I was inspired. While I was running errands today, I stopped in Michael's and picked up some scrapbook paper. I came straight home and got to work on my wreath.
This is how it turned out.
I already had the wreath and I simply wrapped it in strips of some canvas fabric I had on hand.
Rather than gluing the flowers on the wreath, I stuck a straight pin in the middle of each one to attach them to the wreath.
Does the fabric look familiar? It was leftover from when I had these wingback chairs covered.
I think it would look great all filled in, but honestly, I was getting pretty tired of rolling flowers. I'm sure I'll be back at it tomorrow. I would love to make a few more. If you want to give this project a try, check out Emily's tutorial here.
