Hi Positively Splendid readers! We are Trish and Bonnie from Uncommon, and we are happy to be here again this month with a little project for you! Today I {Bonnie} will be showing you how to make this adorable…
Summer Blossom Wreath!
Step 1: Trace leaf shapes onto your fabrics and cut out each one. Each individual leaf will require 2 pieces of fabric {one for front and one for back of leaf }. I used 2 different styles of green fabric for my leaves. One is a lime green solid and the other is a funky, lime green zebra print!
Step 2: Trace the same leaf shape onto your other two fabrics that you will use to make the flower. Remember that each leaf requires a front and a back!
Step 4: Wrap each of your thicker green wire stems with the brown floral tape. Stitch a stem onto the center of each leaf with a zig-zag stitch to catch the stem.
Step 5: Stitch the leaves for the flower together with a zig-zag stitch with matching thread and attach to the thinner green floral stems with a zig-zag stitch to catch the stem. You will not cover these floral stems in the brown floral tape.
Step 7: Finally you will make your little blossom flower! Simply gather your flower leaves into a bunch. I used 5 patterned leaves and 10 solid leaves. Twist them together with the floral stems. You can adjust how they are overlapping once you have placed it in your wreath!
Place your branches and little blossom flower in your grapevine wreath and secure with a little bit of the floral stems! I prefer to place mine a little offset to one side, the choice is yours!
I just love the way this turned out, and by using the fabrics, I can easily coordinate pillows for my porch to go with the wreath! This wreath is so versatile, simply pop out the summer colors and replace with your favorite fall ones!
Thanks so much Amy for having us here again this month! We hope you all are having a great summer! Please stop by and visit us at Uncommon!
