Show-Tell is hosted by Kelli over at http://kellishouse.blogspot.com/ be sure to visit all the other wonderful participants. Today I am showing how I took some ideas & added some touches of my own & made the 2nd wreath I've ever made! lol this one I made for my daughter for her first family 4th of July get together
I found the dried flowers at Michael's, inserting & hot gluing here & there, the little flags I found at walmart, I soaked them in my special cinnamon grunge goop
I went into my Christmas decorations & pulled out a prim tin star & traced it for the stars, I mixed water with the paints till I got that milky look paints : Americna Williamsburg Blue/Cardinal Red/Antique white
when dry stars are sanded to give washed out look
The big star is from one of my quilt patterns, I tea stained then grungied up with my special cinnamon goop, hot glued a double cinnamon stick & tied on a strip of Americana fabric with 2 rusty bells
Here we have the finished outcome, I must say I was proud of myself never having made a wreath before LOL Take a look around & see all the possibilities you can come up with & I bet you'll be making a wreath in no time!

how neat! Love your stars:)
You're funny! I love how you described your step by step on making the wreah. Which is great by the way!!
That is a wonderful wreath. I made one once from shells we had collected from a trip to the beach. I can't wait until summer to hang it back up!
That is very pretty.
So clever!-- and cute! I love wreaths- so many possibilities!

I just have to either make or go and find something for a bow. Ours has some Easter eggs on it. I may post it next week. thanks for visiting my blog. I'm happy to meet you.
This is just beautiful! I love crafting and anything homemade. It seems as if a handmade gift is more from the heart. I like your blog and will be back to read more.
