Wrapped Wreath

I've been exploring craft blogland for a few months now, and have been so inspired (my husband would say too inspired).  Here is a project I saw, loved, and needed to make immediately...meaning no time for a trip to the local craft store.

I found this super cute, wrapped wreath at The Scrap Shoppe


Isn't is scrumptious?  Michele has so many fantastic tutorials on her site, and my to do list instantly grew when I found her blog.

Things I loved about the inspiration:  the monogram, that it was wrapped, and the flowers!  As I said, I needed to recreate this immediately, so I just used what I already had. 

I used jute, ribbon, silk flowers, buttons, and a metal S to create my version.  


I absolutely love it!  It makes me smile every time I walk through the front door.  :)  Thank you, Michele, for the inspiration!
