I went to Hobby Lobby this week because their floral stems are 50% off and grabbed the small "A" from JoAnn's....
When I got to Hobby Lobby, I really had no particular color I was going for. When I came across the purple berries I just thought they were so beautiful and homey looking. I grabbed those first and just worked off that color scheme, which included greens and browns.
I started working from the back forward...I had no idea what I was doing, I was just trying to make everything even....here is a closer look at the floral stems....
I came across this roll of burlap at Michaels for $4.99 a roll. I simply tied it around the basket and adhered my initial "A" with floral wire after I spray painted it with Rustoleum - Heirloom White.
Here are some side views....
I think the end result was exactly what I had imagined when I saw the basket. I like that it's not bulky and too thick. I loved the basket so much that I went back and bought the small basket for my hallway....I will post that pic on my facebook page.....
Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!!

I Love this. Would you mind telling me where you purchased the basket. I have been all over town looking for one that is some what like yours. I also have been looking on line but have had no luck.
ReplyDeleteHello Michelle...I have not forgotten about your question..I have been out of the country and just got back...I got my basket at JoAnn's and I took a look at their store yesterday and then came back and looked online but did not find the exact one I had, but they do have this basket that is just as pretty...Sorry for the delay....http://www.joann.com/home-inspirations-willow-wall-basket-grey/zprd_11191947a/

ReplyDeleteThis looks really wonderful! I will definitely use this as inspiration for my own. I do love symmetry!
ReplyDeleteI love this! VERY VERY cute!
ReplyDeleteYou've got a beautiful wreath there! By the way, what does the letter "A" stand for? I'm really thinking about creating a wreath myself and yours will be the perfect inspiration. I will definitely use this and give it a try!
