A Fifteen Minute Wreath

If there is one trait I wish I had more than any other it is endless patience. But alas, I don't even have momentary patience very often. That is why this is the perfect craft for me. So easy, so quick, so cheap. I sound like a broken record over here.

It came about because I had a friend from out of town who was going to drop by and I have nothing on my front door. Luke just happened to be napping which is not his strongest suit, so I decided to take advantage and whip something up.

First grab your wreath form, the one I actually used was from the dollar store, but I also like these cheap alternatives here and here.

 

Then I dug out my scrap bin and picked out the piece I wanted. I loved this silky blue it felt bright and springy to me. Then I cut a long strip of fabric about an inch and a half wide. Put a little hot glue on the end of your fabric and stick it to your wreath. Then glue and wrap and glue and wrap until your wreath is covered. 

After the wreath was completely covered I found a fabric scrap that complimented the blue and made a bow. 

 

I think I am going to change the bow color, because I don't like how it blends into the back of the door so much. Also, wouldn't this wreath be so cute layered over a simple stick wreath? My friend Pam suggested it, and I love the idea! Now I am going to be searching the clearance bins...

Super quick and easy!
