Hi Friend !
Fall is my favorite time of year and I can't wait to start decorating.....
even though it's 90 degrees.
Let's make a wreath!
I have this wonderful book that I got at the Library store.
It is filled with old fashioned double sided card stock paper.
I pulled out about 8 pages.
I was able to cut 4 leaves from each page.
I used this pattern for the leaves.
I cut a few and decided to only use the oak leaf pattern.
I chose earth tones, golds and greens.
I used a thrifted embroidery hoop as my wreath form.
This hoop was 14'' across.
I got out my white glue-
I glued the leaves along the edge going the same direction-
it really took only a few minuets.
It reminds me of old- fashioned Calico fabric
Thanks for visiting!!!!!

I love this wreath! You could make it in any size to fit any space that needed a bit of "brightening up"! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteMelynda, Thank you so much. I ended up leaving the wreath on the black background. The colors really pop!
