Daisy Wreaths


I know it's a little early for spring wreaths...okay...a lot early. The snowstorm just made me wish it was spring, so I finished my orange daisy and made a teal one for Mckenna to decorate her room with. I'm just really prepared for when spring does come. I got this idea from all those pumpkin wreaths out there, to which I have also made one of those. Anyway with the supplies, it's best when you can get the mesh 50% off at Hobby Lobby. All the other stuff is quite inexpensive.

Supplies:
2 rolls of deco mesh ribbon (your color choice)
1 roll of yellow deco mesh ribbon
1 roll of green deco mesh ribbon (optional)
Pipe cleaners
1 embroidery hoop (your size preference)
1 latch hook canvas (big enough to fit your hoop)
Scissors


You'll start by drawing a circle around your hoop onto the latch hook canvas. Cut out your circle.

Take your pipe cleaners and cut them into fourths (you'll need quite a few). Secure your canvas onto your hoop using pipe cleaners.

Start with the yellow mesh in the middle. Cut about 7 inches (it's not an exact science) and roll up the mesh so it resembles a tube. Also keep in mind the goal is to cut the ribbon not your finger ;) Pinch it in the middle a wrap a pipe cleaner around it. Stick the two ends of the pipe cleaner through two holes and flip over, twist tight and stick the ends back through so the don't stick out the back. Create the center of your flower and then begin filling in the rest. If you want you can make a leaf with green mesh on one of the sides.

Ta Da! You're done! You've got a pretty daisy wreath to hang on your door.
