Easter Deco Mesh Wreath with Video Tutorial

I've tried staying away from getting into anymore crafting projects that would require that I purchase all new supplies (because I can't purchase just a few) in view of the fact that I have a boat load of crafting supplies in my craft room already.  (insert BUT HERE) ~  the true craft junkie comes out in me when my sister talked me into making her one of these Deco Mesh wreaths for her home that I will show another time.  Deco Mesh has been around for a little time but appears to be the rage in crafting decor right now…..(insert sigh) Yes, I caught the bug and had to make one for me too.  In Spring and Easter colors of course.  
I hope you like it as much as I do. 

….and I have a SURPRISE for you all -- yes,  video with picture tutorial.  I know I've been slacking in the video tutorials lately -- but please know that I have not given them up….stay tuned.

{Burlap Valentine Heart Wreath}

Burlap decor is everywhere right now and seems to be the trend that will last for sometime.  I've always loved burlap because it reminds me of being a bit rustic and country and I've most often seen it in the brown kraft color -- not the case anymore as there is lots of colors of burlap to choose from.  Over the years I've created a few projects with burlap but never thought about some of the ideas I see floating around pinterest -- which leads me to one of my favorite craft shows on My Craft Channel.  Inspired by Pinterest with Lori Allred.  It's my favorite show and I can't wait to see what Lori creates next.  
On a recent episode she created a wreath using white burlap -- and I was inspired instantly!  O.M.G. --  I just had to make one.  I {love} the messy look of this wreath and it was rather simple to put together.  (click here to see my inspiration)

 

I'd love to hear your feedback! :)

BOO Banner Tutorial!

When I created my Coffee Filter wreath here awhile back I left it plain and chose not to add a bunch of embellishments because I knew I wanted to cutesy it up for the seasons and attach seasonal decor just like this "BOO Banner" I created for Halloween.  I love how it turned out and it was fairly easy to create.

{Coffee Filter Wreath} Tutorial

Coffee Filter Wreaths have been around for quite a while but I've never taken the time to make one for myself.  I love when I can take one thing and make something else out of it -- so this project is right up my "crafty alley".  When I was looking for a "base" for my project I thought of so many things I could use including a straw wreath form, styrofoam circle, form board, cardboard -- just about anything that I could attach the filters to.  When I decided to work on this project I was not making an extra trip to the store for a straw wreath so I looked around the house to see what my crafty hands could use.  I had this pool noodle on my "to recycle" pile because I purchased it for Spencer's Marble Race Track and when I cut it in the middle I got a little off center so the marbles wouldn't roll right down the middle of the tube -- {sigh} so I couldn't use this one for his marble race track.  Anyhoo's -- I knew I'd find a use for it someday -- (that's why you see the clear tape around the form to put it back together ☺). 

Right now -- I have it just as a plain wreath -- but I have big plans to dress it up with burlap flowers, rosettes, felt flowers and more.  It's the PERFECT addition to my glass hutch that I have in our dining room.  

I used tulle as a hanger -- its light weight and becomes almost invisible.
