Easy (and cheap!) Wreath Tutorial

I've always wanted to be a DIY'er, but have also been scared to try crafting anything in fear that I would mess it up. I've also always wanted a wreath, and not only do they tend to be expensive, they also seem to be easy to DIY, so I thought I'd put my fears aside and try making one.   It was very easy, and fun to make and I think it turned out pretty well!

What I used:

• Store bought wreath
• Wooden letter
• Moss mat
• Super glue
• Metal key
• Wire edge ribbon

The first thing I did was cut out my letter from the moss mat.  I did it by simply holding the letter to the moss and cutting around it.  Easy peasy! 

Once I cut it out, I hot glued the moss to the wooden letter. 

The bow was also easy to make because it's a faux bow.  I cut a long strip of the wired ribbon I got and fold each end to the middle and hot glued it.
 

Then I scrunched up the middle to give the bow effect.

After that, I cut a smaller strip and folded it in long ways and glued it to the center of the bow.  Then I cut two long pieces and glued them to the back of the bow and overlapped them a bit to make the bow's strings on the bottom.

Once I finished I glued the bow to the top of the wreath and positioned my moss letter and key where I wanted it and glued that on as well, and wah lah!  She was done!

 

I loved the way it came out. It's very reminiscent of the decor in the inside of my house, light colors with pops of brighter colors.  My style is very simplistic, so there isn't much on it.  You could add more though to make it a little more decorative if you'd like.

I really enjoyed making it, and now I don't think I'll be as intimidated to DIY things myself.
