i have been wanting to make something festive for the front door - down with the
Christmas wreath -
up with the valentine's day one :)
money needed to be minimal on this one, so after being dismayed at how much silk flowers were (even half price), i thought of this idea as i wandered around hobby lobby the other day...
take one wire wreath form:
yes, for $1.99 - well, actually i used my handy dandy 40% off coupon, so it was less than that...
then 3 of these spools of tulle - they were half off, so $2.50 a spool. i probably could have just bought two, because i only used a partial amount of the third one, but i really wanted my wreath to be full. any leftover tulle is great for using on presents :)
cut the tulle in approximately 5 inch strips - give or take an inch. experiment and see what is to your liking.... you will have a huge pile when you are done.
then begin the mindless task of tying the tulle around each wire.
keep tying...
and tying....
and tying...
until...
ta da!
i cut a bigger piece of tulle and tied it onto the back top center to use as a hanger.
this one is pink, but there are lots of other tulle colors out there - even glitter tulle- oooooh.
my grand total, with tax, was $9.32... with tulle leftover for some presents :)
if you make one, let me know! i'd love to see it!
