Have you seen The Lettered Cottage's new E-zine? It is FABULOUS!! Inside it's digital pages was this adorable heart wreath from the Flower Patch Farmgirl. Using inspiration from that I made this little paint chip paper heart wreath! NOW, I do plan on make another wreath that is very similar to the one from the Flower Patch Farmgirl. It's just TOO SWEET not to copy!!
For this project I gathered up some paint chip samples from Walmart. I made a little heart out of card stock and traced hearts on the backs of the samples.
Then I just started to glued the hearts into a circle to form a flower. This is my first one. I just HAD to share with y'all just how MESSY it is! Look at all the glue!
My other flowers started to come out a little better. I adorned them with little wood beads.
For the wreath I grabbed an empty cereal box and cut a circle from it. It always helps when your box comes with an image of a circle already on it!!
don't have pictures for this next part. Once I had glued all my little flowers to the circle, well it was lopsided! It drove me nuts. I tried everything to fix it and it just wouldn't work. I ended up tearing a lot of the flowers. So, I took it all apart and made a half circle with it. Then cut a piece of the cereal box to make the other half of the circle. I wrapped it in ribbon and made a big bow. Glued the bow to the wreath and....TA DAH!!!
New Spring Flower Wreath!
