Lately it's been hard to find time to do anything that doesn't revolve around work and food. It's been pretty depressing. I did manage however to squeeze this lovely little thing into my evenings, it's taken me forever, but I really like it.
Here's the how to : )
I used about 3 yards of Burlap- but I did use a really thick wreath base, and I wished I would have used a skinnier one.
Paint your wreath.
Cut the burlap into 3" straight squares- this was definitely challenging for me, to cut in a straight line...
Fold your square in half, and then in half again-
Cut the tops of the squares off (like this)
Ruffle into a flower shape
Snip the bottom off, and glue, glue, glue, glue, glue.
Oh, and burlap's little fibers will get EVERYWHERE. It's a great idea for home made itching powder.
What is it about making something that completes you for a split moment? I love it.

That's so cute! I love those wreaths but I'm so intimadated by how many circles or squares you have to cut out.
