Front Door Wreath

I made a wreath for my front door yesterday. I wanted to try a burlap wreath so I googled burlap wreath tutorials, got fabulous ideas and then put them all together.

 Uggh why was I not thinking about my white front door? Note to self make dark colored wreaths for white front door. If I wasn't renting I would have already painted my front door black. I love black front doors.

See how much better it looks on a dark background. Anyway lesson learned. All I did was wrap a foam wreath with burlap that was cut 2.5 inches wide. I hot glued it every once in a while.  Then I took 4 inch wide burlap and laid it on top while gluing folds in it every couple of inches. I saw some ruffled wreath tutorials but I like my way better and it was easier for me.

These flowers were my favorite part. I thought they were so cute. I got the turtorial from here: wreath.  Over all I enjoyed making the wreath and it was pretty cheap since I already had some of the stuff. So go make a fall wreath for yourself and send me a picture. I want so more fun ideas.
