The Jeans project: The wreath
For the roses post click here
As I gear up for my Christmas decorating, I couldn't find a wreath that I liked, the it dawned on me: Why not make your own? Simple easy solution :) Since I was already making the roses I thought it would make an awesome to make a wreath.
And I was right :)
After making 11 roses for the wreath I got a foam ring from Michaels (you can get them in different sizes I choose the smaller ring) then I took leftover jean strips and wrapped them around the ring. My original plan was to use ribbon but I didn't have any long enough. I used Tacky glue to attach the long strip. I used a hot glue gun to attach the roses to the ring. Then a strip on the back for hanging.
I am so happy that this turned out. It's pretty rustic looking don't you think? You could probably hang it year round. Also for more Christmas feel get some red/green material or old t-shirts to make the roses. I think I'll make another for mom and it give to her for Christmas :)
