DIY Wreath

Hobby Lobby had all of their flowers 50% off this week, so I decided that it was a good time to make a wreath.

Materials:

Grapevine wreath $2.49

Rose $2.49

Filler $1.99

Feathers $2.99

Total: $10

 You will either need wire cutters or patience. I had no wire cutters so I had to bend the wire back and forth until it broke. It really didn't take long to do it that way. Once the wire on the rose is broken (leave about 4 inches of wire) tuck it in the wreath so it will stay.

 The filler I got was basically a bunch of wires placed together with brown floral tape wrapped around it. The paper tore easily, but the wires didn't end at the same spot. I just taped them together and tucked them around the rose. I then broke off some of my feathers and stuck one on each side of the rose.

And there you go!
