Spring Wreath D.I.Y.

A few weeks ago, my sister and some girls from Hope Baptist Church's youth group Refuge got together for a craft day on a Sunday after church. My sister, Taylor, and I decided to make wreaths, each one being very different, and the others made collages.
All the girls and their crafts!
Sarah decided to  make a wreath out of old book pages.
Taylor made her wreath out of bird seed.
Chelsea, at the beginning of her collage.
Danielle working on her Mod Podge project.
I decided to make a spring time wreath like I made a year ago for fall. You can check out the fall wreath here. Making a wreath is very simple. All you need is a foam wreath (any size), yarn, ribbon, and decorative embellishments (flowers, butterflies, birds, etc.).
1. Gather supplies: Yarn, ribbon, foam wreath, hot glue gun, & butterflies!
2. Wrap foam wreath with yarn. Wrap the wreath twice so that no foam shows through. Tie knots on the back to secure the yarn in place.
3. Make a bow out of wired ribbon and hot glue it to your wreath. This video breaks down how to make a beautiful bow and its so simple! 
4. Place and hot glue butterfly embellishments.
5. Hang your wreath on your front door, wall, etc. 
Happy Crafting Everyone!

I love your wreaths! They are so cute. I totally dont have the patience to do the yarn part :P

@Jessi - Neither do I. The first one I made went super slow because the yarn I chose was the standard thin stuff. This time around I chose a thicker yarn and it ended up going a lot quicker!
