Hello all, this is Heather from WhipperBerry and I am soooo excited to blog swap with Amy today!
I have been desperately needing a new wreath for my front door. My Valentine red burlap wreath was still up and yes, I know it’s MAY! Time for something a little more spring and a lot more summer. Enter… some super cute sheets from Ross, a square wood frame, clear hair bands, hot glue and a little Lisa Leonard bling!
If you haven’t ever thought of sheets as a great fabric alternative, now’s the time to add them to your crafting arsenal! I found this great set of California king sheets at Ross for $15.00 I have no idea how many yards that translates to, but it’s way more fabric than you can get at the fabric store for that price!! I tore the sheets into 14 inch wide strips…
…using the clear hair bands I created two rows of gathered puffs down the center of the 14 inch wide strip leaving about an 1 1/2 on either side to glue to the frame.
Once the puff strip was complete, I glued it onto the frame leaving the edges free to wrap around to the back of the frame and glue on the back as well.
I know it’s not pretty, but really… who’s looking at the back of your fabulous wreath anyway?
I did find that after I had completed all four sides that it lacked a little oomph, so I created a single row of poofs with a 6 inch strip of the fabric…
… I then glued that onto the inside of the square to create a third row of poofs {technical word I know.}
I embellished the wreath with a Lisa Leonard Pennant Banner which I have fallen madly in love with!! Thank you Lisa for creating a home décor line!!
Isn’t it lovely?! Now I have a fabulously fun wreath for my sad little front door. Thanks Amy for having us over to your place today, you’ve been an amazing hostess!!

Very clever! I’ve thought of using sheets for crafting before, but not for a wreath… I’m trying to imagine it in a red white and blue variation…might have to try….thanks for the idea, I especially love the bunting.

I love the poufs and texture on this wreath!! So scrunch-y (it’s a word.) That little banner across is perfect.
Amy says
Absolutely gorgeous. Exactly what I would expect from the fabulous Heather of Whipperberry! :) What a fun swap. Love you both!
xoxo,
Amy
