Denim Fall Wreath

Fall is finally here! bring on the sweaters, scarves, boots and hot cocoa! in honor of this glorious season i decided to make a cute fall wreath.

You will need:
1 foam tubing from Home Depot ( you could also use a foam wreath mold but the tubing is cheaper)
denim from old jeans or burlap
fake flowers,leaves, or whatever your heart desires
pretty ribbon
hot glue gun
duct tape

so first, if you are using the foam tubing ( i found that the smaller sizes work better) cut it to the size you want. i think mine was around three and a half feet but i'm not sure.

  

next take the two ends and put them together like in the picture above. if your tubing has kinks in it then you may need to get a smaller size so i recommend testing it at the store.

next use the duct tape to put them together. i had a friend help me with this part. wrap it two or three times so that it is secure.

it should look like this. if it isn't completely round, try to play around with it until you are satisfied.

now its time for your fabric of choice. i used old jeans legs from an old pair of jeans i turned into shorts.cut it into strips that are about 3" wide. they don't have to be even.

now put some glue on the end of one of your strips and place it on the wreath. now start wrapping.

when you reach the end put more glue on the end and put it on the wreath and push down slightly. do this until the wreath is covered.

it should look something like this.

now it's time for the flowers! pull them off the stems so that they look like this.

now put some glue on the end of your leaves. i also put some down the middle of the back of the leaf to keep it more secure.  keep gluing flowers and leaves where you want them. i recommend putting the leaves or flat stuff down first.

when you are done the flowers should look something like this. tie a pretty bow at the bottom to finish it off.

and now you are done! i took the hem from my jeans and tied it to the top of the wreath to hang it from. Yay! now you have a pretty fall wreath.
