I saw this and think this maybe in my future...I can adjust it for any holiday! Here are the instructions in case you are interested.
I started with a wreath form, some red satin ribbon, and my trusty Beacon's 3-in-1 adhesive.
I wrapped the wreath form with the ribbon because I wasn't sure how well the burlap would cover the wreath. Luckily it would not end up being a problem...
Because I ran out of ribbon thus the gap in the above picture.
Next step: Gather my fabrics!
I could have sworn I owned some red burlap. But apparently I imagined that!
So I spray painted some white burlap I had on hand, and it worked like a dream.
Love it when that works out!
I cut my new red burlap and more of the white burlap into strips. Then I hand-stitched crochet thread through the top of each strip to make ruffles.
I glued the ruffles to the back of the wreath, layering the white and red.
Then I started wrapping the ruffles around the wreath. When I would get to the end of a strip of ruffles I would glue on another one. I wrapped about 3/4 of the wreath this way. I think I ended up using 5 strips of red and 6 of white.
I repeated the ruffling technique with the denim material and proceeded to wrap the rest of the wreath.
I'm loving all of those ruffles! But something is missing...
I need some "stars" for my denim so it's time to break out the button stash!
I glued various sized buttons randomly to the denim ruffles.
Now its complete!
