My front door must get a crazy amount of Denver sun! My last wreath totally faded the blue burlap and won't be able to be stored and used again. I am just going to unmake it and keep the form for my next project! And this one all my letters are melting off! I don't think hot glue is strong enough to fight the mile high sun! So I recommend super glue!
Anyway, I found THIS blog through pinterest and thought it was perfect! Hers is blue and orange of Auburn, mine is blue and orange of the Denver Broncos!
styrofoam wreath form
yarn
letters
hot glue gun/glue
ribbon or scrap material
spray paint
I started wrapping my wreath, it took FOREVER! After you start wrapping you can wrap some parts neater and some messier, some tighter some looser, it all depends on the look you want. You seriously can't go wrong. Then at the end I just tucked the yarn in under the last few wraps.
I spray painted my letters and left them to dry.
I sat with a glass of wine and wrapped the rosettes. HERE is her rosette tutorial.
Then I hot glued every thing on. Rosettes and letters.
Then they got hot and fell off and I reglued them with super glue!
I have decided I need a new wreath hanger. Mine is obviously meant for the holidays and my new found love of wreaths needs one that is much more versatile!
And my door apparently needs a touch up! No idea where that scratch could have come from!
