Wreaths

Hello. My name is Megan and I have a wreath obsession. I didn't realize it till recently. I find myself looking up different kinds of wreath on Pinterest, thinking up new ones to make and how to repurpose ones I already have.

I made this one for Christmas. I loved how it turned out! It whimsical and has the Christmas colors but is fun. The best part was I didn't have to buy a lot to make it. Just the foam wreath, the W and a few pieces of felt. So easy too! The flowers are just circles in a variety of sizes stacked on each other.


One bad thing about loving wreath is I fell the need to have a different one for each holiday. I don't know why but I'm all about Valentine's Day this year. I wanted a Valentine's wreath without having to start from scratch.

I decided that my Christmas one was close, if only it had pink instead of green...

The flowers from the Christmas wreath were hot glued on so they weren't coming off (I tried). I thought about gluing on top of what was already there. But I didn't want to ruin the Christmas wreath. What to do...

Straight pins! I ended up making felt roses and using straight pins to hold them in place. If you look closely you can see a little bit of green poking out around the edges.

25 cents and an hour one evening and I was able to come up with this! It makes me happy.
