Burlap Spring Wreath

I know April showers bring May flowers, but I couldn't wait until May. My version of the ever popular burlap wreath.

Close up of the little flowers. I can not take credit for their design, but I can not remember what blog I found them on and can not seem to find it again, my apologies. They are very simple. Just cut a 2" strip of fabric fold in half and gather along the cut edge. Once enough gathering is done to make the flower, tie it off and then snip around the edges. I added burlap and a little fabric cone to the centers.

I also wrapped my door hanger in jute so that I could simply hang the wreath on it. No ribbon or anything needed to hang, but you could still add it if you like.

*SPRING*

"Spring" Decor is all the rage it seems, and why wouldn't it be after a long cold winter. Here is what I came up with.
I love how it turned out.

Here is what you will need:

8" chipboard letters found mine at Hobby Lobby
scrapbook papers
mod podge
hot glue/gun
paint/paintbrush
and ribbons and such for embelishments.

First I traced all of my letters backwards onto the back of my papers. Then cut them out.
Next I painted the sides and backs of my letters. I did mine all the same, Lisa Pink (delta). I forgot to take a picture but this is pretty self explanatory.

Once dry I used mod podge to glue on the paper and then sanded and distressed the edges just a touch. Then I set out to make each letter unique, using ribbons, buttons, hemp and a little purple decoupage egg.

Here is a close up of my "G" with a little nest. I just love this one.

Once done I hot glued all letters to a board that I painted Ivory (delta) and distressed the edges just a little. I love how *SPRING* turned out.
