This week we are doing something NEW and FUN!! KEEP READING 'cause you won't wanna miss this (it involves getting something for FREE)!!
Wasn't Sarah Sagert just plain ol' FANTABULOUS (again??) LOVE her style!!
I decided that, with my newly-painted front door, I needed to make a new wreath (the front door got a second coat of paint today, so I am still waiting for it to set AND for the weather to clear up so that the lighting is decent ... had to use an INSIDE door!)!
This was VERYVERYVERY easy to make! I tore squares of DSP that were approximately 3" square (don't worry about being exact ... I was WAY off on some of these!)! I pushed my finger down into the center of each square and pulled the sides up to form a "cup" of sorts ... then I hot-glued each square onto a foam circular wreath form ...
See?? Pretty cool, eh? This took hardly ANY time at all. Not much more than an hour!! FUN, EASY and QUICK!! My kinda project, I tell ya ... (I could've told y'all that I slaved over this for HOURS, but I decided to tell ya the truth!) The package of DSP has 12 sheets in it (two of them were clear sheets with a printed design, so I didn't use those at all) ... I tore up 10 of those sheets to use for the wreath. Didn't use ALL the pieces (and I didn't go back through and count what was left!), but I would say that this wreath takes about 10 12"x12" sheets of DSP ...Stamps: NONE
Paper: Quatrefancy Specialty Designer Series Paper
Ink: NONE
Accessories: Foam Wreath Form, Glue Gun, Daffodil Delight Seam Binding

super sweet!!!!
Thank you for the projects all year.I really liked seeing the new designs you came up with.
What a creative idea! And so much easier than die-cutting shapes! :)
When they chose you to be an artisan, they chose an authentic artisan. I love your projects and this one is no exception. Thanks for sharing your ideas and fun.
I love, love, LOVE this wreath! WOW!

Wow, this wreath is really great!
Wow! What a colorfull wreath. I just love it. It sure looks like if it was taking a lot of time to do it.
Wow. First thought it was made from fabric. Great project.
Really like this wreath. What did you use the seam binding for? Can't see it in the picture.
Great wreath! Thanks for the chance to win some blog candy!
Love, Love, Love this! I will definitely be making one of these. Great way to use up scraps! Thank you for your inspiration.
Love your wreath! How "springy" the colors are! Thanks for all your inspiration! Hugs!! Kay Capps-
This is a beautiful wreath. I love how you used all this gorgeous DSP!
fabulous wreath! gotta get out my glue gun! laura j
Great wreath Wendy! Thanks for all the inspiration you've been providing, love it!!
Wendy...Love the wreath. I'm always inspired when I come here :-)
(I also repinned)
Keep up the beautiful work...
Sandy O. ... the seam binding is what it is hanging from (you can see a little bit of it in the top photo) ... :)
Very pretty wreath!! What a great way to use up/display your favorite DSP!!
I LOVE this wreath!!! And I love how easy it is even more :) I'm going to be making one of these for my own front door soon. Thanks for sharing your amazing talent!
Love the wreath. I would probably use straight pins to stick them to the wreath, though. I'm not really friends with hot glue. Thanks for the chance to win blog candy, too!
LOVE THIS WREATH !! And so simple !! I will totally be breaking out my Hot Glue Gun to make one of these with lots of my Retiring DSP !! Thanks !!!
Love the alternative to flowers!Thank you for always showing fresh and fun ideas!
You are a true Artisan. Love your originality.
So cute! About how many sheets of DSP did it take? I have more retired DSP than I will ever possibly use for cards and scrapbooking...
I would never have thought to do that with paper.
interesting idea! would like some instructions:)
I love your wreath ! I'd like to do that for my Stamp Club. About how many pieces of paper does it take per wreath?
Thanks !
love this wreath! the colours of this dsp are amazing! can't wait to get my hands on it!! tfs

Wendy, the wreath is awesome! Love following your blog--it's always full of great ideas!
Wow, I love that wreath!
Kelly ... I tried starting out with pins, but because paper doesn't have much texture, they were pulling out too easily, which is why I resorted to using the glue gun ...
Mary and Cindy ... I added a little bit of instruction on how many sheets I used ... about 10 12"x12" ... probably less because I had leftovers, but I wasn't sure where I was going when I started!!
Your wreath is so pretty and fun! It's really great cuz it's so easy too.
Love it! A great way to use up some of my DSP stash.
Oh my word! I love this wreath! AND it's quick and easy? So cool! Thanks for sharing and for the chance to win:-)
Inky hugs,
Janet
Great idea. Thanks for the chance to win.
What a fun project!! Wouldn't this be a great way to great guests to your house for club/workshop. Great job again Wendy!
Wendy, have really enjoyed the Artisan blog hops. You are all so creative and inspiring. Love the wreath!!! That will be one I will copy as soon as I can order the DSP. Thanks for the chance to win blog candy.
Wendy, I love this wreath! It really does seem easy to do. It will be a great way to use up some of the retiring DSP that I have SO much of--not to mention a way to enjoy it!
Terri Brown
love it, can't wait to make one or two..... thanks for sharing
I LOVE your wreath and I enjoy seeing your artisan posts each week. Thank you for sharing your creations!
Love it! Now, off to paint my front door and make a wreath.
Hey Wendy! Nice wreath! And so simple too. I also repinned and shared. Nice way to get comments on your post by offering free stuff! LOL! Big HUGS!
Kim Smith
Love it! I'm so going to case this. It's a good way to use up the mountains of retiring DSP that I have. Pineed it to my pinterest too. Thanks!

What a clever idea and it does not sound very hard. Thanks
LOVING your wreath!! I imagine it took a lot of fabric, huh? Thanks for a chance to win blog candy!!
Love your wreath - so pretty and fun and goes with anything! Don't blame you for not using the clear sheets in this pack of DSP.... Your idea looks like it would be soft to touch....even though paper. TFS!
I should do one of those for my front door too. Love the colors you chose! You do great work! Love all your posts.
Love your wreath, and all of your beautiful cards! Thanks for the chance to win some goodies!
What a great idea to use up the DSP. Such a cute idea.
I wish I had a foam wreath so I could make one of these today. Too bad the Xmas wreath I finally threw away yesterday had wire :( Really cute, and simple, and I can't wait to make one. Luv ya!
