Fall Burlap Hydrangea Flowers Wreath

I was inspired to make this wreath after I saw one on Birch Lane pictured below.

I had everything I needed to make my version. And that consisted of different shades of burlap fabric, mod podge to make the burlap stiff, grapevine for the wreath base, a large flower punch, scissors, hot glue, and puffy paint.


To begin, I had pieces of grapevines left over from other projects and I wrapped them into a circle.

Next, I applied mod podge to several different colors of burlap that I had left over, too, and let dry for a few hours.

Then, I began the task of punching out the flowers.  Since my hand was still sore, it was easier for me to sit in a chair in my garage and punch out the flowers using my feet.  It took me about a total of two hours to punch out all of the flowers used and it was great exercise - something I really need!

 The punch was a EK large flower pattern, and I had to apply a lot of pressure to cut out the burlap flowers evenly.

I used an old measuring spoon from powder plant food and my thumb to shape the stiff burlap flowers since I didn't have any embossing tools.

Next, I cut out pale green burlap leaves using a hydrangea leaf pattern I found online.

And glued them on around the grapevine wreath.

Then I began gluing on the flowers. 

Once all the flowers were glued on, I added dots of puffy paint to the center of the flowers.

  You can hardly see the first set of leaves, so I added more for a fuller look.

The Birch Lane wreath is listed for $85.00.  It did not get good reviews.  One person said it was a waste of money and the other person said it was not as pictured.  I think my wreath looks adorable and it was virtually free since I used leftover materials from other projects.

Take a little time to enjoy

and

Happy Crafting!
