Festive Fabric Wreaths

The long awaited wreath making workshops took place this weekend and I estimate we used approx 5000 scraps of fabric over the 2 days!

These wreaths really do have the wow! factor and it is certainly a workshop we'll do again. Watch out for the Spring/Easter version coming in a couple of months.

For now though, here are just a small selection of the stunning wreaths made this time.....................

Making a start

 
Hints of mistletoe

Really Christmassy tones

Toffee tones, make this wreath look good enough to eat!

Frosty Autumnal tones give this one a really wintery feel.

Very pretty results came from a more structured look

A touch of deep pink velvet gave this wreath a very opulent tone.

I love the difference a touch of gingham can make.

And finally the Starry Night wreath.

There were 24 wreaths made in total over the weekend and there were no two alike. Even ladies who shared material made different wreaths. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing them all emerge and would happily hang any in my home. My apologies to those ladies who's wreaths have not made onto the blog.

You really have a gift and its so exciting to see you being able to use it on this level! I see lots of fun & exciting jobs in your future.

Ive been staring at the phoots for quite a while and cant quite figure out the way you did them! They turned out lovely and I LOVE the music paper .So smart! :)December 9, 2011 3:11 pm
