I have had enough of winter and was in the mood for a new wreath. Using things I had on hand and some inspiration from Pinterest, this is what I ended up with: My 'Ruffled Dropcloth Wreath'.
My inspiration came from Jones Design Company. They have a beautiful 'Spring Wreath' with a tutorial at this link. I love their wreath with it's perfectly placed birds nest laying on a bed of moss and surrounded by gorgeous linen ruffles.
For my version, I chose to use Dropcloth fabric for the Ruffles and a trio of Burlap and Painters Cloth Rosettes in place of the nest. If you are unsure how to make rosettes, Freckled Laundry has a wonderful video tutorial.
The course nature of the Burlap and the nubby imperfections of the Dropcloth fabric are a texture combination I never seem to tire of!
For a bit of 'natural bling' - I added a few sprigs of Juniper and some simple twigs.

It's impressive how similar the linen and dropcloth look. Linen can be expensive, so that is an awesome alternative! And those rich-in-texture flowers add a lot too. Nice work, Suzanne!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful!

I love the ruffle look! Your rosette flowers look fantastic too, I'm not sure I have that skill yet. Heck I don't know that I can ruffle anything either. I better stick with wrapping yarn around a foam wreath form and calling it a day. ha!
