Spring Wreaths

whenever i go to chelsea's house lately, the craft of choice seems to be a wreath. we've made
heart wreath for valentine's day
4th of july wreath
i made her a burlap wreath for christmas a couple years ago
we're starting to get a lot of the holidays/seasons covered
this time we wanted a spring wreath
i got on pinterest and started with this as our inspiration

we went with spring colored yarn to start

we used a straw wreath (they're the cheapest) from michaels with a 50% off coupon

the yarn is also from michaels and was on sale

wrap the wreath in yarn. i started measuring to make the stripes but ended up kind of eye balling it. it's not perfect, but it worked out ok

i used the same technique as the heart wreath to make the white flowers. i bought 1/8 yd of white felt and used almost all of it, but now i can see my flowers are much closer together than the above wreath

chelsea did multi-colored flowers. she bought the sheets of felt for $0.33 cents each

she used this tutorial for the spiral flowers

i love that they are both so different but but both so cute

we spent around $6-8 per wreath. definitely better to make than buy.
