Wreath Tutorial

This is what my grocery trip resulted in. I did get food...but I had the semi spontaneous idea of making a door wreath. I've always wanted to make one and so I figured why not? I found everything at Walmart. 

First I painted the wooden "doo-dads" (An E and an anchor). And isn't that berry color I used on the anchor gorgeous?! Love it!

I let those dry while I went to work on the chalkboard mini boards. I used the chalkboard pen to decorate these little pretties.

Now the fun part. I bought some printed muslim and started wrapping the foam with it. I seriously think I could have left it like this. I secured it with sewing pins. Easy peasy. 

Then came the burlap overlay. I pinned it into ruffles and added a lace and burlap ribbon accent to tie it all together.

Then I pinned the flowers, glued the wooden letters and chalkboards and used some extra muslin to fasten it to our wreath hanger. There is no wrong way to do this fun project and I seriously love how it turned out!

So we have two doors that enter into our apartment. One of them does not have the number. It is the one we use the most and it is so stressful for our poor guests as they're nervously knocking on our door hoping they have the right apartment. So...here's the other one! I seriously had so much fun with this one. I painted the letter and numbers and wrapped the wreath in patterned burlap. I did a lace ruffle overlay this time with a burlap accent. I hot glued the wooden parts to it and voila! Took me maybe an hour!
