    Make It Monday – Flower Wreath

    Spring is a wonderful time to decorate with a new wreath. We wrapped a styrofoam wreath with burlap, and then created a garden of fabric flower embellishements using the extra small Kanzashi Flower Makers. The centers of the flowers are a mix of buttons, seed beads, and rolled twine. You can see more particulars of the design with matching candle holder and frame on this link to the project inspiration sheet.
