That's not horribly expensive. buy fabric on sale or with a coupon..and in the end it's still most likely cheaper than buying a pre-made wreath? I've never really bought one, so I wouldn't know, but usually, homemade things are cheaper. Unless the fabric is super expensive.....

That looks amazingly easy and I will DEFINITELY be making it! YAY! Another project!! LOL fun tutorial as well LOL

Yeah its not CHEAP but its pretty and lasts a long time. If u want it permanent you can add a dab of fabric glue to the tip of each fabric piece as you push it in.

The saints one:
black fabric 2.99 a yard @30% off
gold fabric 2.99 a yard @30% off
ribbon: 2 spools @.99each (used only a little bit..)
So the fabric was roughly 9 after the discount and the ribbon 2 bucks? 6 bucks for wreath so for under 20 bucks, a wreath

oh and u can make an even cheaper version with flowers! Grab one of the flower bouquets from hobby lobby that has a lot of blooms and do it when they're half off

Jab the flower stem in, viola!

I was thinking of looking through my scrap piles and maybe color cordinating them and working from there.

I at least want to aim for Oct/Nov so I can make a halloween or Fall one.

You know, I have enough Christmas material, that I might just make me a a new Christmas wreath. I need to get rid of my extra material and what a good way of doing that.

Or maybe just buy a Heart foam and make some Valentine wreath!

Thanks so much for your tutes lately Amy!

Yeah its very flexible...they have hearts, balls, etc. You could add flowers, birds, straw, etc. You could add dangly little paper cut outs (if it will be inside or protected), and let your imagination go wild

Various colors makes a pretty one too,

Taking a bit from two of you-
Christmas fabric on the styrofoam balls

Amy, were you the one that made those Christmas balls? I saw them (probably in Holiday Crafts) when I first came here. Where are ya'll hanging them? On the tree, from the ceiling, windows?
