Hand-made Goodie of the Week: Interchangeable Wreath

 

Interchangeable Wreath

It all started with this wreath.  I've had it for a few months and it's just been sitting in my closet because I've been indecisive about what I wanted to do with it.  I didn't want to "commit" it to one look.  So I racked my brain and came up with a way to make it interchangable!  And since fall is right around the corner, I decided to start off with a fall-ish look.

I made several different kinds of burlap flowers.  This one I ruffled by sewing a line down the center, 

Then gathered it tight.

I formed it into a circle and stitched it together so it wouldn't come apart. 

I also made a few rolled flowers by cutting a strip of burlap about 1/2 inch wide, folded it in half and rolled it.

Then stitched the bottom.

I also made some orange burlap rosettes and some layered "flowers" out of the tan and orange burlap.

Here comes the "interchangeable" part: I then arranged them how I wanted on the wreath then moved them onto a piece of brown felt and hot glued them in place.  Then I trimmed the felt around the outline of the arrangement. 

I then cut two half inch pieces of velcro.

I hot glued the loop (fuzzy) side to the back of the felt.

And hot glued the hook (rough plastic) side onto the wreath.  Then I attached the felt piece onto the wreath.

There you go!  I've got a lovely fall wreath that I can change out when the idea strikes.

Here are some of the other embellishments I've made for my wreath:

I was inspired by this cute burlap wreath by Jen from Tatertots and Jello-go check hers out!
