Just a simple wreath, unpretentious, and in colors I don't usually choose. Best of all, it's easy to make!
Supplies: 20 inch wire frame, 1 yard fabric, 3 sunflowers, 1 leaf stick, roll of natural branches, and hot glue.
Cut fabric into strips about one inch wider than it takes to cover the wire base.
Turn fabric on the ends of the strips about 1/4 inch to wrong side of material and hot glue them. This is so there will not be a raw edge showing on the front of your wreath.
Wrap the strips around the wire base and glue.

Continue to wrap strips around the base until you get the crunched-up look you want. Turn the raw seams to the inside of the wire base.
Then start adding the fun part, the flowers and accents.

Make a simple bow of leftover fabric and scrap fabric by cutting strips all the same length, about 6-8 inches, and tying them together with a long string of jute under the flowers. Since this will make one side of the wreath heavier than the other side, I safety-pinned a weight on the opposite side of the flowers, between the strips of fabric for balance. Then the wreath could be hung evenly.
I was finished except for hanging it on my front door.
