Yarn Wreath: Makeover

As promised here is the other wreath I made. I originally had it like this but decided to change it up a bit.

I'm in love with how it turned out. The best part? I didn't spend any money. I used things I already had around the house. :)

Spring Flower Wreath

I decided to spruce up the wreath on my front door. It had some orange thingy on it with berries. It was starting to fade so I gave it a spring flower makeover. :) 

I love how it turned out!

 The best part is that most of these flowers I had already made. They were just laying around waiting for the perfect project.

It makes me smile. Except I decided it was too pretty to be on the front door. So I moved it inside and replaced it with something else. :) I'll share it with you tomorrow.

Here are the links to the different flowers I made, in case you want to make some too. Here, here and here.

Yarn Wreath

I'm sure you've all seen those yarn wreaths before. When I saw them I just knew I had to make one. So, I went to good old D.I. and picked up a straw wreath for $0.50.

I decided to use gray yarn that I already had on hand.

Then I made some white felt flowers.

I decided to hang it by our family pictures and I just LOVE how it looks.

I'm thinking it needs some more roses though. What do you think?

I also wanted to be able to switch out the flowers for different seasons. So instead of gluing them to the wreath I just attached them with pins. I attached the ribbon the same way and just used a push pin to hang it on the wall. This was really easy and lots of fun to make. Now I want to make a whole bunch of wreaths in tons of different colors. If you'd like to make one too here's a great tutorial. You could also do a search on Etsy to get some ideas.
