A Linen Wreath


I fell in love with this wreath at Beautiful Nest and decided to head off to the fabric store for some linen! She gives a wonderful tutorial here on how to make it so I won't go into too much detail. I do want to add that I used 4 1/2 yards of fabric. I felt it needed to be full. I also tore my strips at 4 1/2 wide and then folded them at 4 inches.


I added a bit of personal touch with the fabric flowers. I love how each one turned out and the colors go nicely with my bookends in the living room!

I'm hoping of hanging this in an old window frame (which I don't own yet)... Guess I will need to do some antique shopping to find one!

Enjoy your weekend!

    Kelly,
    your linen wreath turned out so cute! the flowers add the perfect pop of color and are the perfect finishing touch! Very clever! Hanging it on a old window frame would look great! I have quite a few and use them all the time, white for summer and spring and dark for fall and winter. I am in the process of changing out my mantle to fall and will be posting it Mon, I hope!
