I hope everyone had a safe and Happy Fourth. I'm hoping we get some peace and quiet tonight because the dog was not happy last night. And when the dog's not happy, no one's happy! We're getting organized in our new home and took a few minutes this morning to whip up something for my new office.
In my last office, I had an accent wall for which I'd made a border of flowers that ran along the top. I couldn't bring myself to toss them when I took it down and knew I had an oversized wreath form that I was going to use for something in our old house but never did, so it was pretty easy to visualize this oversized wreath. It was quick, easy, and a great way to re-purpose a bunch of rolled and layered paper and coffee filter flowers I'd already made.
Supplies:
- Giant Wire Wreath Frame ( I don't remember the dimensions but it was the biggest one Michaels sells)
- Rolled / Layered Paper Flowers. You can design your own or use patterns for your cutting machine.
- Coffee Filter Flowers. I made these freehand. I love coffee filters because they retain their shape and don't wilt like tissue papers.
- Glue gun and glue.
I started with the largest of the paper flowers. I had three this size so I did kind of a triangle shape to evenly disperse them.
Then, I took the smaller paper flowers and distributed them in between, just kind of eyeballing the spacing.
When I made these, I intentionally made different styles of flowers because I didn't want everything to match. After I had all of the paper flowers placed, I started adding the coffee filter flowers which again, I didn't make all the same.
These were easy to fluff back up since they'd gotten a little squished being boxed up! I filled in the bare spots, fluffing along the way until the wreath form was filled in. It went very quickly and now is the first thing I've hung on the wall in my new office!
