Hello all, this is Heather from WhipperBerry and I am soooo excited to blog swap with Amy today!
I have been desperately needing a new wreath for my front door. My Valentine red burlap wreath was still up and yes, I know it’s MAY! Time for something a little more spring and a lot more summer. Enter… some super cute sheets from Ross, a square wood frame, clear hair bands, hot glue and a little Lisa Leonard bling!
If you haven’t ever thought of sheets as a great fabric alternative, now’s the time to add them to your crafting arsenal! I found this great set of California king sheets at Ross for $15.00 I have no idea how many yards that translates to, but it’s way more fabric than you can get at the fabric store for that price!! I tore the sheets into 14 inch wide strips…
…using the clear hair bands I created two rows of gathered puffs down the center of the 14 inch wide strip leaving about an 1 1/2 on either side to glue to the frame.
Once the puff strip was complete, I glued it onto the frame leaving the edges free to wrap around to the back of the frame and glue on the back as well.
I know it’s not pretty, but really… who’s looking at the back of your fabulous wreath anyway?
I did find that after I had completed all four sides that it lacked a little oomph, so I created a single row of poofs with a 6 inch strip of the fabric…
… I then glued that onto the inside of the square to create a third row of poofs {technical word I know.}
I embellished the wreath with a Lisa Leonard Pennant Banner which I have fallen madly in love with!! Thank you Lisa for creating a home décor line!!
Isn’t it lovely?! Now I have a fabulously fun wreath for my sad little front door. Thanks Amy for having us over to your place today, you’ve been an amazing hostess!!
I love square wreaths. This one is so creative and unique. I love it!
Very clever! I’ve thought of using sheets for crafting before, but not for a wreath… I’m trying to imagine it in a red white and blue variation…might have to try….thanks for the idea, I especially love the bunting.
I love the poufs and texture on this wreath!! So scrunch-y (it’s a word.) That little banner across is perfect.
Absolutely gorgeous. Exactly what I would expect from the fabulous Heather of Whipperberry! :) What a fun swap. Love you both!
xoxo,
Amy
What a great idea, that turned out super cute!
Wow — this is simply beautiful and so creative! I would love to try making something like that. So pretty.
I am In. Love. I have been searching for ideas for a new wreath and have found nothing I like…until today! Thanks so much for haring!! Can’t wait to make my own version!
What a CUTE idea! I LOVE Lisa’s pendants :)
Okay, loving Lisa Leonard and all her creative genius. What a great way to use this pennant! Well done!
love it!!!
Oh I love this idea!
I’m going to have to try it. I just took down my Easter wreath and my door is looking rather…plain!
I ADORE this wreath–it’s stunning! Well done! :)
