Sunflower wreath. This is what I did today. The golden is jute and the center is paper mesh. I wish I could have found a darker brown, but I was in too much of a hurry to change out my easter wreath today to go looking elsewhere.

A very pretty sunflower wreath - was it hard to make? Hugs, Laura*

It was a bit time consuming because I had to cut all of the pieces, but it wasn't hard.

Hi Jerrilyn, I was just thinking how delightful this wreath is for the sunny months coming ahead for you. Whilst down-under we are coming into our winter months!

It's pouring rain here today. I really feel sorry for all those poor people suffering from flood damage from only last week. Southern Queensland too is under a heavy blanket of torrential rain. Love Chris

Yes, we are flipping seasons with our down-under sisters again.
Oh, dear. I do hope the rain isn't severe and stops soon. Bless all of those who are still soggy and without housing. My heartfelt prayers go out for them.

Thank you. I made my Christmas wreath the same way, except it was silver tulle with shiny balls hanging in the center at different lengths.

That would be very pretty. I also thought of hot pink with a black center using tulle.

It is lovely, great idea to have a wreath for every season, not just for Chrismas (as I have). Must have taken quite some time to cut all those petals. The result is beautiful!
May I ask what you used for a background and how you fastened the petals. I can only think of a woodbase and a glue gun or a fabric base and a sewing machine, but both might be totally wrong.

It is a box wreath frame and I used pipe cleaners to attach the petals. I had to "make" a center by crossing the pipe cleaners or chenille stems in the center to fill in the brown. I'll put a photo of the frame above where it allows images.

It could be easily done with a styrofoam wreath and floral pins, too.
This is an image of the frame I used.

Go for it. It's easy. I used most of 3 rolls of burlap ribbon that was 6 inches by 15 feet. (the gold) I cut my pieces 6"x10" and pinched it up from the top left corner to the bottom right corner and then just attached it to the frame with chenille ste
