Mr. and Mrs. Seat Back Wedding Wreaths

Need a quick wedding craft to brighten up the bride and grooms chair at the wedding reception?  These Mr. and Mrs. Seat Back Wedding Wreaths are quick, easy and adorable! final
Materials:

Wooden Letters (I picked these up at A.C. Moore)
Burlap Ribbon
Tulle
Krylon ColorMaster – Sea Glass
Hot Glue Gun and Glue
materials
So that it would be dry in time for adding them to my wreaths, I spray painted my letters first.   Krylon
Then, with the help of my craft loving five year old, Benjamin, I wrapped the foam wreath rings with the burlap ribbon and hot glued the end to keep it from unraveling. wrapping wreath
Once my letters were dry, I hot glued them together, slighting overlapping the letters. glued letters
Once the letters were glued together, I took a strip of tulle that was about 6-8 feet long and folded it in half to find the center.  Once I had the center, I hot glued my letters to the tulle.  I only attached the “Mrs” on the “R” and both the “M” and “R” of the “Mr” to the tulle.   I then laid the letters and tulle over the wreath and wrapped the tulle around the wreath near the top.  Once I was happy with the placement of the letters, I wrapped it around the chair and tied it to secure the wreaths to the chairs! individual wreath
I love how these turned out!  And they are actually on their way to a beach wedding this upcoming weekend!

Halloween Wreath Re-do

So, I love the $1/$3 section at my local Target.   Every time I go into Target, I have to take a peek at what is there.  I don’t usually buy anything, but on occasion I can find something that I can use!

The wreath pictured below is one that I made a few years ago, using a styrofoam wreath, black tulle, some ribbons and a styrofoam “BOO” that I found in the $1 section at Target.  In the past few years of using this wreath, the styrofoam “BOO” has started to wear away.  So…….. old wreath

I just happened to walk through the $1/$3 section at Target the other day and saw some things I could use to spruce up my Halloween Wreath!   I found a wooden “BEWARE” and a witches broom.  Wondering how I was going to attached these new items to my wreath, I knew I had the materials to do that at home.

materials Wooden “Beware”, witches broom, garden wire, wire cutters, small screws and a screwdriver

Using my screwdriver, I screwed my two small screws into the back of the “BEWARE”.   I then cut my wire to size so that I could attached it to the word and then to the wreath.  I twisted the wire around the screws and then attached it to my wreath.

Using a piece of the gardening wire, I twisted it around the broom and then stuck the ends of the wire into the foam of the wreath. broom

Then, I hung it up and how the rest of the Halloween decorating begins!!!   Isn’t it cute?!?!?!
