Wreath with fabric flowers


I came across a burlap wreath one day when I was blog-hoppin.  It was pretty cute, all covered with it's little burlap ruffles-but it wasn't really my style.  I have been trying to figure out what I wanted to do on a wreath, and yesterday when the kids and I went shopping for craft supplies, and I found a grapevine wreath for $2.79 at Joann's.  I'm a sucker for a bargain, so I picked it up, headed to buy some burlap and fabric to make some fabric flowers to jazz it up.  I found the cutest fabric! I only bought enough for this project, and I bet I end up kicking myself for it! I needed to unwind last night when we got home, so I got my supplies out, whipped up some flowers and burlap ruffles, then got creative! This is the end result.  I will post a full tutorial when I have more time-from making the flowers, to the ruffles, to sticking them on the wreath.  I am happy with how it turned out!  With the wreath, berries, fabric/burlap flowers, and the S, it cost me less than $10!  I love frugal crafts! (and my hot glue gun!)











Happy Friday everyone! Have a safe and blessed weekend! :)
