DIY wreath

Wreaths seem to be one of the more popular crafts these days. Yes I jumped on bored. It took me months to find the right color of crimson. Can you guess why! Here's a hint Roll Tide!!!!

Months ago I mode podge an "A" with hounds tooth print scrapbook paper and painted the sides black. I was set on using geomesh for the wreath. I even waited till All the Christmas stuff was out to try and find what I wanted. Yeah no such luck. 



Walmart happened to have a crimson burlap with the geomesh they had in the Christmas section. So that became my material. I already bought a roll of hounds tooth ribbon month prior. 

I looked at a few tutorials and read one or two and just didn't like them. So I started with little to no instruction and made my wreath. 

Here is a picture of it in the process.

This is what I finished with. Really I would say just go for it! All you do is push the burlap though and fluff it the best you can. It's not a huge fluffy wreath at all but I like it. My son happened to have a stress ball foot ball he didn't mind giveing up. So here it is. 

 Sorry the picture is side ways. I might add some more hounds tooth ribbon just cause I think it doesn't have enogh.
