Simple Fall Wreath

Hi Everyone!
Fall is here, my favourite Season...so much beauty around.
My wreath for this year is a very simple one, contrary to the one last year..:) made with two thrifted goodies from Value  Village ( Canadian Savers..what not to love???)

I just took both and attached with a nylon thread , so I can use both components again somewhere else later...and ready!

Christmas Mantle

Hi!

Some shots of our mantle this year. I pretty much used things I already had. The only new additions are my goooorgeous feather wreaths that I got guess where?? Oh, yes, for the ones who already know me…. at the thrift store. They are NEW, were in the box! 
I think they are the perfect complement to add against my dark wall

Burlap Wreath


Hi!
I love wreaths, love making them for each season, and this year I wanted a burlap one. Well, I love burlap. This is why:)
 
Browsing for inspiration , I saw this on Etsy , fell in love , but resisted the urge to buy it, as it is a bit pricey ( but hey, I see now, it is a lot of work:) .

I  decided to make one. 
By the way this shop has the most beautiful wreaths I have ever seen.


Material:
- Foam form from Michaels. Use your 50% cupon and you get it for $ 4.99. wink wink!
- Burlap - You wil need 1 yard. Cheap!
- Safety pins, I used the ones without the head. Lots of them.
- Scissors.

 Star by making lots and lots of 5 " squares with the burlap

Fold in a rectangle ( lengthwise) and then as above.

 Start attaching them to the foam with the safety pins. This is what I love about this, no glue, no mess, so clean looking!
It took me a good hour of ( not so hard) work, but so worthy!
My burlap wreath for Fall!!

 Make a cute bow with whatever you like ( i used the burlap, but you can use any beautiful fabric, ribbon, you name it)


 I may change the bow if I find cute painted burlap ..or paint some..let's see, will updated it for you girls, if this is the case:)

 Happy Fall!

 ****___________ ****

HEY!!! I decided to update it and  painted some burlap ( check here) in a chevron pattern. Some colour but still chic and rustic, I 'd say?

Diaper Wreath- Pink one this time!

For the Baby Shower,  I also decided to make a diaper wreath. I had made one for another baby shower a while ago and it had turned out so cute, I decided this was in:)
This time I ted a wreath wire shape I had at home and bought .99 cents newborn diapers ( not used!) at the thrift store...LOVE THIS! :)
The little baby girl things came from dollar store . Attach with hot glue. Done!
Check how the wreath is made here and the baby shower here.

Pink and Grey Baby Shower: Easy Mini Wreath and Flower Ball

A sweet girl in my church is going to have a baby girl and another friend was responsible for hosting the baby shower at her house. She asked me to make the decor and of course I said "YES!", I love doing this for my sisters in Christ! :)

Detail: she gave me a 3 days notice, so immediately I started brainstorming and searching through my house for things that I could use. 
First thing I found was a cheap foam wreath I had bought at the  thrift store a while ago.
This was my starting point. 
Right away, I thought of a colour combo I love and I was sure the mom-to-be would love too.
Pink & Grey.
So sorry that I do not have photos of the whole process ( I love posting tutorials!), because  due to the short time I had to prepare, I worked at night, in a certain rush and kinda neglected taking photos of the "between". Please forgive me.
But both the the wreath  and the flower ball are pretty easy and  quick to make.
Ribbon, foam wreath (small) and hot glue gun.
The pink ribbon was wrapped around the foam shape.

Th shinny gorgeous grey ribbon is from Dolarama 2 bucks for a huge spool!
I made my favourite no fuss multi layer bows and voila, ready!
The flower ball was easy too. I used my Cricut  ( "Sweet Treats") to cut tiny little flowers and with pins I pinned them to the dollar store ball....done! 



I love this combo!
Be sure to check the whole decor  of this Pink & Grey baby shower here!

Recycled Christmas Wreath

Hi!
Keeping up with my frugal style ( hubby loves it!), my beautiful fall wreath gave place to my Christmas one. Off went the fall "B" and In came the Winter "B"

Ribbon into cute bow...

I used the hot glue for making the bow, but I used  a small piece of wire to attach the bow itself to the wreath, as I use and reuse this baby all year long.


The Butlers  are ready for Christmas!

Embellishing a cheap wreath

Hi!

I always wanted to have a huge beautiful wreath up in my mantle wall but never had the guts ( or pocket) to pay the big bucks they ask for it!
This year I found this one half price ( 17 bucks!!) at Michael's, but bare...well, just the way I wanted so I could  do whatever!!!
After some embellishments it was  perfect for me! Very convenient also that they were all 50% off at Michael's!

From dab...
To fab...
Take one ugly cheap skinny wreath
Take one old garland
Some wire
I wrapped the old  garland I had to the new skinny wreath to make it fuller and bulkier. Just tied with the wire, no hot glue necessary at all. It looks better already!

 Some new 50% off embellishments (ah, the pine cone smell soooo  nice, cinnamon scent...)
 

The embellishment garlands I wrapped using the  wreath own  boughs
I used hot glue to attach the pine cones and small ornaments


 The bow is a simple one made with wired ribbon ( sorry, forgot to take photos)


And my living room smells wonderful as well, love it!
------------
Dec 20 : I just added a  new touch to it...check it out! a cheep small wreath to the centre, so festive!Not bad for a (former) skinny and ugly little thing !
