Spring Wreath


Spring Wreath Supplies:
  • Straw Wreath
  • Cardboard
  • Spring flowers
  • A long strip of burlap
  • Yarn in a coordinating color
Spring Wreath Instructions:
  1. 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.
  2. Detach the spring flowers from their stems. I saved some of the leaves as a backdrop for the flowers.
  3. 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.
  4. Cut a letter out of the cardboard, or even cut out enough letters to spell "spring" or "home."
  5. 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.
  6. Attach the letter to the other side of the wreath with hot glue.
  7. To hang, you can use a wreath hook or you can tie the yarn into a loop at the top of the wreath.
