Just before we get into the randomness of my post which will take you from making a wreath to my desk to yes even an outfit let's just take a second to enjoy the Sunday Night sunset. Is this not a glorious site ( and I am not talking about me in my slippers, I am talking that sky). I had to run outside to snap some pictures and it is times like this that I wish I had all the awesome filters and the real keen eye of a true photographer.
( oh yea and an SEO tip for ya, I was spending tons of time thinking up unique interesting titles for my post and I just learned you need your title to be basic and include the key words in your post of what you are writing about, this will generate more hits, so tip: stop being cute and get back to basics)
I realized I had been a bit slack in my craft/diy posts when I noticed my Easter Wreath was still on the mantle ( minus the Easter trinkets but still in all its pastel glory. So today we are going to convert an Easter wreath into a non-seasonal Burlap and Denim Wreath. 2015 seems to be my year of denim and burlap, I converted my candles after buying some denim accessories and I really loved the look, then we won some burlap and birch park accessories so I figured what the heck, lets work with it right?
Step one was taking the wreath off the wall and begin removing the pastel, gold and cream decomesh.
I purchased two rolls of ribbon from Michael's, a burlap with a denim ribbon accent and a solid denim, I figured these added to the existing burlap would be sufficient for my wreath.
After the wreath was unadorned with only the plain burlap, I began adding my new burlap and denim ribbon, followed by the solid denim. The best thing about using a .wreath with greenery is you have instant hooks for attaching your ribbons. There is no best way to attach the ribbon, I eye the ribbon and loops and keep adjusting till I have a pattern I am pleased with.
Varying shades of denim help add depth.
My mantle wreath now matches the other accents I have added this spring.
Burlap and plaid pillow covers.
Denim and burlap candles
Birch candle
wooden coasters
Burlap wall coverings
Are you into the denim and burlap kick this spring? have you added any accents?
