It’s fall! Of course it’s in the 80s with a “feels like” at 90, but I DREAMED of cool, crisp air. It was a really nice dream and I’m just going to try my best to be patient for the cold fronts. I’m ready to roast some pumpkins for bread, bust out the tried & true chili and soup recipes, and find a nice sweater for my walks to pick Nate up at school. SO ready!
Anyway, I think wreaths are pretty awesome year-around, but I like them even more during fall & winter. To ring in the new season, I whipped this little wreath up, yesterday. I was originally going to make a pretty rosie wreath, via the tutorial on The Pretty Poppy. It’s insanely cute, no?! I really wanted to add those darn doilies, though, so I stuck with a small group of rosettes. I added the doilies opposite them on the wreath and really liked the symmetry it created.
You can’t really tell from the photo above, but the [foam] wreath is wrapped in yarn. That was probably the most time consuming part of this project. I suspect it took about a straight hour. I need to find a new method of wrapping. After I glued on the rosettes and doilies, I wrapped the empty spots in some lace hem tape I had. It was in a little baggies of vintage craft goods I found at a thrift store. I think it adds some nice dimension to it!
This is amazing! I love it so much.
You should list some in your shop so I can buy one.
aww! thanks!
I don’t have anymore doilies and I REALLY like what they bring to the wreath. I’m going to find a plastic spider to put on it during October. Instant Halloween wreath! haha
That shade of brown is my absolute favorite color.
it’s SO lovely! I feel I didn’t do it justice in the photos. I found almost an entire yard of it on sale at a craft store. I’m thinking I may need to make a different wreath that is covered entirely in this felt.
Duuuuuude! Your projects are always (ALWAYS) 100% inspiring! This wreath is beautiful (and this is coming from a non wreath fan).
I bet it’s the doilies and lace! there’s just something so charming about them.
Gorgeous!! I’m crazy about any project that involves doilies.
It’s still boiling hot here, too. Fall, where are you??
i’m a sucker for doilies, too. I want a table runner made out of ’em! :)
i’m super excited about our first “cool front”, expected to arrive early next week. the temp will get down to the low 80s!!! HA!
