Vintage Spring Wreath

 

Easter is only a few weeks away.  I find the holidays are a great excuse for a new wreath for my front door.  I wanted to do something a bit different.  Something with a bit of a rustic vintage vibe.  I knew I wanted to use my leftover burlap.  I had purchased an entire roll for my winter stairway garland.

This past weekend I made a run to my local Joann's Fabric and Craft Store.  I purchased a 12" round wreath form and some floral sprays.  My first stop though was the Sunday Flea Market.  I headed directly for the jewelry booth.  I just love vintage pins.  I was able to find 10 pins in a floral motive.

At home later I gathered my new purchases, my leftover burlap and my handy dandy glue gun.

 

I didn't want to just wrap the burlap around the ring.  I wanted it to have some depth.  I started by cutting lengths of burlap and just kind of rolling and bunching it up and gluing it around the ring.

Then I pinned the different pins around the ring.

 

 

 



The final touch was to fill in the bare spots with flower petals and some faux bird eggs I glued on.

 

 

 

I kind of like the end result.  How about you?
