Feedsack Wreath!

I have been inspired by seeing my friends burlap flowers and another's wreath on a blog.






So I thought I would give it a try...






Here is my finished
   Feedsack & Burlap Wreath!



I started with making this flower by layering, from the bottom up, white burlap, vintage lace, brown burlap, more lace, and then I added a rhinestone butterfly pin in the center.

For the wreath, I started with a Styrofoam ring. I cut scraps of old feedsack with my pinking roller cutter into strips. I easily wrapped the strips around the Styrofoam ring. I then took some more of the feedsack strips and sewed strips together so I would have a long strip. I sewed a basting stitch down the middle to be able to ruffle the strip. I then just wrapped this ruffled piece along with more ruffled lace around the ring.
I thought the wreath looked too frilly and girly! Hubby was not a fan when I showed him what I had just created. To help with this issue and to add some whimsy and personalization, I added this metal 'M' that I had in my craft room.

Just something cute and fun!
