WEEKEND CRAFTS, QUICK SUMMER WREATHS!










I have been grapevine wreaths for 
several years. I have sold a few too.
I have collection of grapevine wreaths,
faux flowers, birds, and ribbons.  I got
some of them from a dollar store.  The 
rest came from sales at Michael and A.C. Moore’s craft stores. I change the bow and flowers each season.  My front door looks pretty festive. I have purple accessories on my wreath now.


I save a lot of money by making my own wreaths. I've discovered that Family Dollar stores have large nice looking faux flower bushes. They cost 50% less than my local craft stores.




WREATH INSPIRATION










Need:



12-14 inch grapevine wreath

1 large Faux summer flower bush

1 large baby breath bushes

Wire cutters

Glue gun and glue sticks







Remove flower head from stems. Use wire cutter to remove baby’s breath stems from bush. Glue flowers and baby’s breath as shown in picture.  




I make really quick wreath for gifts by attaching a garland.I just make a circle
with the garland which is the same size

of my wreath. I hot glue it in several place onto the wreath.


I usually give a wreath holder as a gift too. They are only a dollar at discount stores.




Here is a spring/summer garland wreath for inspiration:









I have included pictures of garlands that I have used on my wreaths:
