Burlap Wreath

Well, my name is Katie, and it is about time I showed up and introduced myself with a project!  I love pinterest.  I do.  It’s such a great and easy way for me to get ideas and be inspired.  Unfortunately, I have this super awesome problem of seeing projects on pinterest and thinking that they’ll be so quick and easy to do.  Then I actually make something and boy howdy, it always takes longer and doesn’t always turn out how I think it should look.  You all see where I’m going with this, right? 

So, I’m sure you all have seen this pin about making a wreath form out of foam tubing.  Seems simple enough, and really it was.  It worked just like they said it would.  What didn’t really work for me was how it looked when I was putting away all my fall decorations tonight….

This is my month old wreath.  Maybe it wouldn’t be so noticeable if it was totally covered in flowers or maybe covering it with more burlap would help it keep it’s shape.  But, I’m pretty sure next time I’ll just splurge on a real wreath form.
