I have been having such a great time at the Farmer's Market this season. I have met some interesting people from the community and the fellow vendors are very social and kind, such good people! I have been finding some time to finally begin working on my wreaths. I'm hoping I can sell these at the market and/or online.
Here is an image of the largest wreath I've made. It's a 24" grapevine wreath. I've added some different flowers to the base of it.
And then I added in some berries and fox tail.
I wanted to make a wreath that didn't have too many harvest colors in it -- so that it could be a universal wreath in the home.
This wreath is harvest all the way!!! I found a little stuffed scarecrow on clearance and attached him on the right part of the wreath.
This wreath is a 24" oval grapevine wreath. I attached some fall leaves and kept the floral colors more yellow, brown, green -- to match the coloring of the scarecrow.
I had made a 4th of July rag-wreath with some material that had the flag all over it and I wanted to do another one with some material that wasn't focused on a holiday. I found this material and went to work!
I used pinking shears to create the jagged edges on the cloth. I cut the cloth into 3" squares. The great thing about a wreath like this, anything goes. You don't have to be perfect on the size of the squares.
I had a 12" straw wreath for the base. Then using a glue gun and the end of screw driver I pushed the cloth into the wreath. I tried to randomly place the colors on the wreath to give it a full appearance.
This next wreath is probably my favorite! I used a 14" grapevine wreath. And I found this cute owl to be the focal point! Isn't he cute?! :)
I glued fall leaves around him -- I found some that really fit the coloring of the owl. And I added in a few twigs with berries on it.
The last wreath is one for Halloween! Sppooooky! :) I used a 10" grapevine wreath, and I spray painted it black.
I then glued on some random Halloween fixtures -- Trick or Treat, spider, bats, cat, etc. Then I covered it in cobwebs.
I added a wire ribbon to the top which had some of the same colors from the Halloween fixtures. And then I spray painted it with glow in the dark paint! So now once it's been exposed to some light... the cob webs, the eye balls etc. ALL GLOW IN THE DARK! So much fun!
