This is my Easter door wreath for this year. I was sure I had put the wreath that I made last year somewhere safe, but for the life of me can't find it, so I decided to make a new one for me and another for my lovely neighbour Kata.
I used two rattan wreaths from last years Poundland festive collection, bought because I could see that they had more potential than just for Christmas.
I got out all my assorted flower and leaf punches and decided for swiftness sake the resulting flowers would be best attached to the wreath by using a glue gun.
Initially I thought I wouldn't cover the wreath entirely with flowers and leaves, but then I got carried away, as per usual .......
....... adding more and more, until the rattan was barely visible ........
....... before adding small pearl, clear and amber coloured flat back gems to the centres ........
......... then all that was left to do was fluff everything up and remove all the annoying glue gun threads, et voila!
Later when I made Kata's I decided it would be easier and less fiddly in the long run to add the gems to the flowers before I glued them to the wreath.
I am really pleased with the result, they are certainly are pretty and spring like, but if I was being hyper critical I wished they were just a little bit bigger and more in proportion to the door, but then again that's me! After Easter I am hoping to find a small space where mine can be on show all the year round ..... I'm just not sure where at the moment.
They certainly did turn out pretty. I bet your neighbor was so appreciative!
