DIY Wreaths

 I made these for the 4th of July, but I wanted to put them up for y'all to see. They could be made for any holiday.
  Wreath #1    
 "All its Glory"
Very Simple to make
Decorations from the dollar tree or where ever you choose.
1 swimmers noodle and packing tape. I cut about 4-5 inches off of noodle. But its not necessary, it just takes more tulle.
3 rolls of Tulle (25 ft. ea.) cut into approx 16 inch strips, fold in half, wrap around noodle. With free ends pull through loop (folded end) continue around till finished. May need to add a few extra pieces as to fill in, around the wreath. To give a fuller look. Save one strip to hang wreath. Trim tulle, to give an even look. Add decorations with hot glue.  TahDah!!!  EezyPeezy!!


Wreath #2 
  "Simple Expression"
Oh So Very Simple
Decorations same as above
12" styrofoam wreath (walmart) $3.97
1 skein of varrigated yarn, I only used 1/2 of the skein (walmart) $2.50
Begin by wrapping yarn around wreath once or twice, then take the loose end and pull it toward the direction you are working and wrap yarn over it, to hold in place. Continue wrapping around wreath 8-10 times, push yarn up and twist to tighten. Continue, till finished. Hot glue end piece in between strands. Decorate.  This one took me all of 30 minutes to make.
Have fun with DIY crafts. Let me know what you think. Or if you have any questions about making either of the wreaths, feel free to ask or you can email, or tweet.
