First, I used a grapevine wreath that I got from Goodwill for a $1. I just had to pick off all the ugly fake flowers and bam, I had a super cheap wreath. They cost a few bucks more at craft stores.
Then I used some scrap burlap I already had and began making rosettes. I did this until most of the wreath was covered. I purposefully left an open space, the size of 3 of my burlap rosettes, for the interchangeableness to happen!
And I did actually make 3 more burlap rosettes to fit in that space for when I wanted a simple but cute generic wreath.
So with those rosettes, I placed them on the wreath and figured out where the wreath parts stood up the most and placed the {hard} velcro accordingly. {I used hard just because I less of it and a lot more soft that I could make options with to stick on the wreath.}
And then I matched the velcro on the wreath to the rosettes and put the soft velcro on them.
Placed them on the wreath and...
... there you go!
Now I have a kinda big gap, but don't worry. That's where I was going to put the bow to hang to the wreath. I got some scraps, which was actually an old valance I was going to donate then decided to keep for repurposing- score! Cut a couple inches the width I wanted and then ripped the rest of the way for a frayed look.
Then I just tied it in a bow onto my wreath!
I love it already!
But I wasn't done yet... now to make some more rosettes to switch out when I felt like it. I did a couple options and the hardest part was deciding which ones to use on my wreath!
Options 1 and 2
And I went with...
Option #1!
{for now}
I love the touch of spring the colored rosettes add. It's simple and not crazy busy or overwhelming.
Yay for spring!
I'm SO DONE with Winter.
