Spring & Summer wreath

I'm not very good at the stay at home Mom thing...I need to be busy or on the go. I've been trying to fill Quinn's naps with crafty projects so I'm not constantly going somewhere. Thank goodness for Pinterest!! :) I decided I should finally take my winter wreath down, but needed something to fill it's spot. 


I started with a grape vine wreath from hobby lobby, paint, and burlap ribbon left over from one of my baby showers. I found an idea on Pinterest that made the burlap into rosettes and went with that idea 


I didn't want a plain colored wreath so I spray painted it a blue color that would work for both spring and summer!
 I made several different sized rosettes and painted all but one.
 I started with them spaced apart, but decided it needed either no space in between the first four or more rosettes to fill the gaps.
 I went with more rosettes. :)

It was a very simple and fun project. It took me a few tries to get going, but was easy once I got the hang of it. YouTube also has a tutorial on how to make the rosettes, but I kinda changed it up along the way.

And because I think she's the sweetest and cutest little baby girl ever....
