Hello welcome back. Lets get straight into the wreath because I am excited about this one. I picked up this wooden wreath base at B and M for £1.50 and I knew this could make a great base. Now in the past I have decorated these using hot glue and its the easiest thing honestly. I had when I started intended on leaving some of the wreath on show but as you will see that just didn't really work out. So although this is my August Wreath I am already thinking about Autumn and I wanted something that would cover for both in yellow and orange tones. If you see my business post from Said Lucy you will know that recently I have been working with fake flowers, which I love so it made sense to add some to this wreath. I took 2 bunches of flowers from Proper job but you can find similar in home bargains. My suggestion is to remove the flower heads they usually pull of or you may need to cut them. Then pull or cut the leaves off. I used hot glue to secure this. A few hints! and a warning. The glue will melt the fabric on the leaves. So apply to the plastic stems or apply the glue directly to the wreath. Use a spoon to hold down the leaves whilst the glue dries so you don't get burned. Save some leaves back to fill in gaps if needed. Then you can either place your flowers around to get the look you want and then glue one at a time or you can just randomly place them on. So this is a lot fuller than I planned but my hope is that it will blend in with some more autumn makes I have planned.
So for about £5 I think this was a cheap and easy make. I have been so busy with the kids home and trying to work from home but it hasn't escaped me the amount of lovely new craft products currently being released and I have a great planner blog to bring you next week. I miss doing paper craft and I have some great things to share with you. Thanks for taking the time to read this blog. Just just 4 more wreaths to make then I will have completed my wreath challenge. Take care everyone. xxxx
