Easter Egg Wreath

This wreath is a fun way to brighten any room this Easter season! And it is so simple to make! 

I bought a flat, wooden, 12 inch wreath frame and wrapped it with white ribbon. Then traced the flat, wooden egg shape onto multiple colors of felt and then cut those out.

A little bit of felt glue and glitter and I had some sparkly Easter eggs. All that was left was using a glue gun to attach them to the wreath frame. So simple!

It takes a little bit of patience but I think it was fun and definitely suggest you try one for yourself! =)

"Americana"

This 18 inch "Americana" fabric wreath was a custom order requested after seeing my "American Spirit" wreath I made for the Habersham YMCA Hallway Silent Auction. This client wanted this wreath to accessorize her kitchen which is decorated in an Americana theme.

These fabric scrap wreaths are not my favorite to do simply because they are so time consuming. I have to cut up hundreds of fabric strips and then spend hours tying them in tiny knots around the wire wreath frame. This is also larger than the original "American Spirit" wreath and therefor took longer to complete. Each wreath is about $30 at cost and when I turn around and sell them at $50 a pop (for a fabric scrap, 18" wreath) I'm not sure the $20 profit I make is worth all the time that goes into creating them.



I really do enjoy the way it turns out though. On this wreath I added a red bow made from raffia and I particularly like the fabric I used on this wreath. My favorite is the gray, red, and blue stripe fabric.

I think I will definitely make myself one to hang for Memorial Day and, of course, the 4th of July. And I know this wreath will look super cute in my customer's kitchen! 

Go Raiders!

I had some custom wreath orders requested this past weekend. Each wreath celebrates the Raiders and State Football Champions over at Savannah Christian Preparatory School. They boast the bright colors red, white, and black. I love that color combination. I added some sparkly ribbon and fabric scraps in these two and I really think it adds some fun to these wreaths! 

This was the first time I did an 18" fabric wreath, and I must say, after I complete one more custom order, it may be my last. Holy cow! It was just so time consuming! And to be quite honest, I'm not really sure it's worth the money. BUT I do love the way it turned out!! One of my favorite features is the skull and crossbones fabric I used.

GO RAIDERS!
