Scrappy Flower Spring Wreath

I have really had Spring on the brain lately...even though there is still snow on the ground!

I made this frame wreath so that it could look a little more like March and less like January around here.


There aren't any flowers blooming outside so I had to take things into my own hands.


I gathered some scraps from my little scrap bins.


And made as many fabric flowers as I could stand.

Here are some great tutorials for fabric flowers that I used:

I also just starting making stuff up as I went. It was fun to experiment and go crazy with the hot glue gun.

I then took a white frame I had from another project.


And simply glued all the flowers around the perimeter of the frame.

So easy.

And fresh and Springy.

Cheers me up and helps remind me that Spring is really just around the corner. Right? I hope. :)

I LOVE this! I really like unconventional wreath shapes, and this rectangular shape is so so interesting! I also love the colors you chose, not too neon or pastel-y, but just enough color to get excited about Spring. Really wonderful. I think my door needs one :)

This is my all time favorite wreath I've ever seen in Blogland {no hyperbole!}. I absolutely love everything about it - the variety, the colors, the shape, the destashing! I will have to use this as inspiration somewhere in my home ~ thanks for sharing your creativity!

Connie said...

So beautiful! You make it all sound so easy! Thanks so much for sharing!

Jess said...

Found this on Pinterest, yes you are circulating. I love the fact that it's on a frame. Out of the norm for a "wreath". Kind of brings it to life.

I think this might be the cutest wreath I have ever seen. I have been looking for a gray and yellow wreath for my SIL's baby shower, and this is absolutely perfect. And it will be lovely hanging in the baby's room. Thanks!

Jess said...

This makes me so happy and makes me want to dig thru my scraps and my moms! (She believes you can never have too much fabric!)
I can see these for so many different occasions! Just perfect!

Becky Elliott said...

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your beautiful fabric flower frame!! I would love to make one!
