Spring Wreath Supplies:
- Straw Wreath
- Cardboard
- Spring flowers
- A long strip of burlap
- Yarn in a coordinating color
- Wrap the strip of burlap around the straw wreath, hot gluing along the way. Completely cover the straw wreath. Tip: Leave the plastic wrap on the straw wreath and just glue the burlap directly to the plastic. It keeps the straw from shedding all over your work area.
- Detach the spring flowers from their stems. I saved some of the leaves as a backdrop for the flowers.
- Hot glue the flowers to one side of the frame, placing them close together and keeping them on the top of the wreath without wrapping around too far.
- Cut a letter out of the cardboard, or even cut out enough letters to spell "spring" or "home."
- Cover the back of the letter with glue and wrap the yarn around the letter, securing it with the glue. I used Tacky Glue and used clothespins to hold it in place while it dried.
- Attach the letter to the other side of the wreath with hot glue.
- To hang, you can use a wreath hook or you can tie the yarn into a loop at the top of the wreath.
