Does anyone know of a tutorial to make a wreath similar to the ones in the picture?
I know I saw one somewhere, but I can't remember where. Also, I can't recall where I got this picture. I saved it a long time ago so if you recognize it let me know so I can give some credit
my two cents: it kind of looks like carnations? if i were recreating this(which i just may have to now!!), i would buy some red silk carnations and hot glue them really close together on a wreath form.
Those look (texture-wise) like the coffee filter wreath Nester recently made: http://www.thenester.com/2010/11/making-a-coffee-filter-wreath-and-tree-and-things-of-that-nature.html
As for obtaining the red color ... maybe spray paint it after you've made it? That's all I can think of right now.
Have you thought about dyeing coffee filters to make this? I've seen a lot of wreaths made with coffee filters on blogs lately. Here's a few links: http://dejavucrafts.blogspot.com/2010/07/coffee-filter-wreath.html http://www.thenester.com/2010/11/making-a-coffee-filter-wreath-and-tree-and-things-of-that-nature.html http://www.centsiblesavings.com/2010/09/decor-on-dime-my-new-favorite-wreath.html
You could do a coffee filter wreath. They look very similar, although you'd need to dye the coffee filters red or cut out circles/scalloped circles from red tissue. Or you could try a rolled felt rose wreath.
You must see these wreaths..very easy to make to get that look...I saw they everywhere last February...they are made with felt cut into circles put on a styrafoam wreath...here's a couple.. http://spilledagain.blogspot.com/2010/06/rose-wreath-valentines.html
I love to find inexpensive items and give them a little love so they can become something better. I usually have too many things I am trying to "love" at one time.

Hmmm...that is a beautiful mantle/fireplace. If only it was mine.
ReplyDeleteHere's a tutorial for a white wreath made with cupcake liners, but it's white.

Here's a tutorial that uses the same technique, sort of.

That is a beautiful mantle! To me the wreaths look like they are made from carnations? And the garland looks like Bells of Ireland flowers?
ReplyDeleteThis kind of reminds me of it:

I can't enlarge the photo, but are they made of tissue paper flowers?
ReplyDeleteLooks similar to the coffee filter wreaths I have seen around blog land...or maybe tissue paper?
