How To: Make Your Own Wreath!

Okay, so I definitely don't understand the girls who make these in 20 minutes... 

This project took me about 2 hours. BUT. So worth it. 

And I think it turned out pretty well :) Just be sure to use your Joann's and Hobby Lobby coupons!

How To: Make Your Own Wreath
Shopping List
1. A wreath (I used grapevine for this one)
2. A hot glue gun or floral wire. I only used wire. 
3. Your initial
4. Greenery and a flower of your choice
5. Wired edged ribbon

Directions
1. So, a total pro tip... wire 2 wreaths together. It makes your wreath look so much more expensive. I use 2 of the same size wreaths. 
2. Wire on (or hot glue) your greenery on each side first. Then place your flower in the middle and wire it down. 


3. Make a basic bow, and wire it below the greenery.


4. Attach your letter to the wreath. Some used a staple gun for this. but I just used wire and it worked fine!
5. Hang it and be so proud of your hard work!



Wow! Now that I'm writing it out, it doesn't seem so hard! But I think I just took a lot of time on it because I wanted it to look perfect. 

Here's the wreath look I was going for!


and here's how mine turned out!


I love the way mine turned out! I wish I could've found a bigger letter, but you'd be surprised how hard that is to find! Plus, the one I found already came painted white!

So fun! I would love to know if y'all make this!
