Today was a rainy, crafty mood kinda day. My mom had asked me to make her an UK wreath for her front door a few weeks ago. She brought me some supplies and said do your thing. I used what she brought me and added a little of my own. Here is what I came up with......
First I painted the letters with some white acrylic paint.
Next I wrapped a straw wreath with some blue with white polka dot burlap. I left the plastic on the wreath to keep the straw from poking into the burlap. I used a hot glue gun to secure the burlap, gluing after a few wraps to hold it still. It took two rolls of the burlap to cover the wreath.
Then I decided to add a burlap banner to the wreath to add another element. I cut several triangles from some light color burlap I had on hand.
I used a Sharpie to free hand the letters on each triangle to spell "GO CATS".
After getting the letters on the triangles, I decided I would like for the black to be more saturated. So, I used some acrylic black paint I had on hand to trace over each letter with a brush.
I used some fishing line to attach each triangle to create the banner. I used three dots of hot glue at the top of each triangle.
Lastly, I attached the "UK" letters and the banners to the wreath using...you guessed it...hot glue. Here is the finished product....
