My {new} fall wreath!!

Ok so my -sweet friend- emailed me this morning to tell me that she and her sister-in-law were going to make one of my fall wreaths that I chatted about awhile back. Isn’t that just neato!! It made my day!! But it also got me to thinking…hmmm…I should really get off my hiney-hodie and upload pics of my new wreath to share. My stinker has been sick with an ear infection & teething {poor wittle} so there hasn’t been much creative activity around here!!
BUUUUUUT….I sat down and GOT ‘ER DONE! Drum roll please……

The base wreath is from Dollar Tree {of course}…it’s a twine-branchy one…they have really big ones for Fall. Go GET ONE!

I wrapped the wreath with scraps of my fave {burlap}. I just hot-glued the wreath with small strips of {burlap} around the wreath until it was covered.

THEN…to jazz it up a bit I made a few fabric flowers with left-over scraps of white {burlap} fabric.

I also used some brown paper from paper bags….you know the one’s at Wal-mart that are free to use for your ice cream or frozen foods??

Yeppers peeps….recycle those babies…cut it up and viola…brown craft paper!! I made the accordian-style flowerdy-thingys…(yes that’s a word)…

…and then hot-glued muslin-fabric flowers on top! I also added some vintage buttons I had to add some more pizazz!

I seriously love this…and my total cost was $1.00 because I had all the other scrappies I used for decor.
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!
