I cut the 2 mats into several strips about 2” wide each.
I wrapped them around a 12” wreath form I had on hand, using floral picks and hot glue to secure the ends of each strip.Once the wreath form was covered, I use tshirt strips (cut from a Goodwill bag of rags) and white canvas ribbons to fashions a casual and perky fabric accent.
It’s on the side door now and I love it! I like to use hot pinks, purples, red-pinks, etc. for my planter flowers in spring/summer, so this wreath extends that color theme to the doorway. Cheap, easy and fun – may fave kind of craft! Linking up to the sidebar gals.
