I sprayed the R with brown spray paint and then rubbed the edges and top with sand paper to make it look a little worn...just a personal preference....I like to make new things look old so I don't feel so lonely in this world.
...random picture I took during the creative process because she is so helpful.
I cut the burlap into 6 inch strips, then thread 8 inches of wire through the burlap (weaving back and forth)....
I tied it to the wire wreath and then pinch the other side and tied it to the wreath as well making a 'bubble'.
See....I went back and forth across the 4 wires to create a bunch of little loops in all directions. Here is the back....
Halfway there. I later went and filled in any gaps with random loops. I just kept adding when I ran out of my strips until the whole thing was covered.
I'm traditionally the fan of a bow, but I found this wreath sort of makes it's own fluffy statement....so I bought a few burgundy flowers, then made a few out of felt and fabric.
To make the rolled flower I tied one end of a 1 inch wide strip I cut down the length of the fabric....Then I twisted, rolled, and glued.
I glued the initial and flowers to the wreath....
The top two flowers.
You could add pins to the back of the flowers and change them up for each holiday with the burlap as the backdrop....but I think I'll just leave this here.
