3 Replies

Need a quick wedding craft to brighten up the bride and grooms chair at the wedding reception?  These Mr. and Mrs. Seat Back Wedding Wreaths are quick, easy and adorable! final
Materials:
Two foam wreaths (I used FloraCraft Make It Fun Wreath Rings)
Wooden Letters (I picked these up at A.C. Moore)
Burlap Ribbon
Tulle
Krylon ColorMaster – Sea Glass
Hot Glue Gun and Glue
materials
So that it would be dry in time for adding them to my wreaths, I spray painted my letters first.   Krylon
Then, with the help of my craft loving five year old, Benjamin, I wrapped the foam wreath rings with the burlap ribbon and hot glued the end to keep it from unraveling. wrapping wreath
Once my letters were dry, I hot glued them together, slighting overlapping the letters. glued letters
Once the letters were glued together, I took a strip of tulle that was about 6-8 feet long and folded it in half to find the center.  Once I had the center, I hot glued my letters to the tulle.  I only attached the “Mrs” on the “R” and both the “M” and “R” of the “Mr” to the tulle.   I then laid the letters and tulle over the wreath and wrapped the tulle around the wreath near the top.  Once I was happy with the placement of the letters, I wrapped it around the chair and tied it to secure the wreaths to the chairs! individual wreath
I love how these turned out!  And they are actually on their way to a beach wedding this upcoming weekend!

It’s February and the month of Love!  This Burlap Love Wreath makes me think of Love! wreath
Materials used:
A FloraCraft Foam Wreath

Using Aleene’s Collage Pauge and water, I added 3/4 Collage Pauge to 1/4 water to a plastic container.  It’s the formula usually used for Paper Mache.  I wanted to stiffen the burlap a little and to help it to keep from unraveling.  Once I soaked all of my pieces, I let them dry. burlap
Using a Tulip Foam Roller and Tulip Soft Fabric Paint, I painted the 12×12 inch piece of burlap.  I then let that dry. painting
Once my paint dried, I cut out two hearts.  I basically folded the fabric in half, cutting two hearts at once.  Using Embroidery floss and a needle, I sewed the two hearts together, paint sides out.  Before I sewed the heart all the way, I stuffed it with some felt scraps that I had left over from another project.  Then, I closed up the heart by sewing all the way around. heart
Using the burlap ribbon, I wrapped it around the foam wreath and used embroidery floss to sew the end of the ribbon to the the beginning to hold it in place. burlapwrap
From the scraps of painted burlap, I cut out red circles.  Using the embroidery floss, I added the white buttons to the center of the red pieces and attached them to the burlap on the wreath.  I tied them off on the front adding just a little color to the white buttons. dotsandbuttons
This lovely wreath is now hanging on my front door!  And I LOVE that it reminds me of LOVE!!! wreath
I hope that your February is filled with lots of love!  And I hope that you like my Burlap Love Wreath!

Until next time……
