Bare Feet Welcome

I found a picture of a spring time wreath on Pinterest a while back... it was adorable! I couldn't wait to make it! And now that I finally have, I've been dieing to share it with all of y'all! :)

Here is my finished wreath:
Isn't it cute???!!

It was so simple to make! Here is what you'll need:


1. Hot glue (of course!)
2. Flower "lace" found at Walmart for nearly nothing! I think I had them cut about 20 flowers in length.
3. Long ball point pins. Use the pink tipped ones!
4. Hard foam wreath.
5. Green feather boas. I got the fuzzier ones to make it appear more as grass. Also, I only got two boas and I ended up having to kinda stretch them pretty far in between loops, I'd recommend getting three for yours!! I found these at Hancock Fabrics, they were a little pricy, but I REALLY wanted to make this wreath! :)


Take the end of the boa and glue it to the wreath for stability. Then just wrap it all around until the end of the line. Glue the end down and then repeat with your second and third boas. DO NOT glue the boa anywhere else around the wreath!!! It'll just end up being a huge mess!
 

Cut the flowers so that they are individual flowers now, instead of a rope of them. Then take your pink tipped pins and push them through the middles of the flowers and place them where you like around your wreath. 
Be sure to push a few in through the boa's centers so that they won't move around as much anymore!


 Here is my wreath with all my flowers pinned down!


I also added a little sign that I made! It reads "Bare feet welcome!"
It's made out of a toothpick and some card stock cut out into a "flag" shape. I did the flag shape double sided and then folded it over the toothpick so it would hold better and glued the two sides together around the toothpick.

Here is my completed wreath! Just needs a pretty little ribbon! My Walmart currently has all their spring ribbon on sale, as well! :D
 


I love this wreath!! Even on gloomy days or cold days even, it makes it feel like spring time around my home!! And my 5-year-old think it's just "the most prettiest" thing ever! (Wait till she sees my Easter wreath I'm working on!)
Happy spring y'all!!
