So like my husband says
When I find an interst it can become an obcession
but to me this little obcession with DIY
is my new HOBBY!!
I love it!
So this week I wanted to make some Burlap Wreaths for the Home.
I needed a great summer wreath for the front door and then I thought it would be sweet
to make a mini to hang indoors on our decorative door that separates the dining room
from the family room!
First I started with the Front Door Wreath because I knew it would take more time
and patience with it being my First wreath EVER.
So I went to Pinterst like most of us do these days, what would we do without that website..its lovely.
I found a great pin that showed me step by step how to make a burlap wreath and the supplies I would need to successfully create this burlap vision I was going for!
So then I went to Hobby Lobby another place I dont know if I could now live without haha
and picked up my supplies, listed below is what I needed for the wreath!
One wire base, size of your choice, I went with 22'
Burlap of your choice
Wire stringa
and
a wooden "M"
I already had a glue gun, and metallic stray paint which I also used.
Then I sat down and began
it took sometime to actually figure out what I was supposed to do
but once I figured it out it was smooth sailing from there!!

| Step 1 |
 |
| Burlap Complete |
 |
| I added the Chevron Ribbon and Bow and my Painted M to complete the Look!! |
I am so happy with how my First Wreath DIY turned out!
Its now displayed on my front door!!!
Then of course since I was on a roll last night
I decided to go ahead a do the mini wreath as well!
 |
| These were the main supplies, Teal Burlap, and a Burlap Magnetic Flower I also used some chevron ribbon that I had recently bought!  |
The Completed Mini Wreath above now hangs in my house and it really makes me happy!! :)
My husband likes them, and told me not to get carried away!! :)
Last night before all this DIY maddness
we went to dinner with my Parents which was nice.
When we got home the kids and Jared were outside so we went and chatted and played for a bit.
Katie was playing with sidewalk Chalk
I decided to write our names, Jenna, Katie, and William
in bubble letters on their driveway.
In amazement after I had been talking to the guys
I turned back around to see that she had done the same thing
bubble letters and ALL!!
I was Impressed and I think you will be too!
Check out this cute pic I captured as a Proud Aunt :)
Happy Thursday!
XOXO
