{boy, I've been on a wreath kick for the last few months... LOL! Check out this one from Thrifty Decorating!} |
As much as I love this wreath I cannot take credit for it. Nicole over at Thrifty Decorating came up with this idea for this dainty, feminine, tissue paper square wreath. I just love how the tissue paper makes the roses so airy and delicate.
But, not only is she so creative to have come up with this idea, she also has a killer tutorial for it posted here. Go check it out, and you can have your very own rose tissue paper wreath!

Now, as much as I love this wreath, I have a confession to make. I completely suck at making rosettes. I dunno... I guess it's just not in my genes. Maybe I just need more practice, but good night, I just can't find the time these days!
I tried... I really really tried. But I only ended up with one rose. HAHA!
So for a simple, less rosette-y adaptation of her awesome idea, I took the wooden wall letter hanging on Baby A's nursery room door, and did a little embellishing. :)
{plain white Hobby Lobby letter... kind boring.} |
{painted edges to give it some depth and to match tissue paper flower.} |
{tissue paper rosette & a couple of tissue leaves aaaaand.... TA-DA!} |
What do you think? I think it's just what this letter needed. I had really been trying to come up with a way to give it a little extra 'something' but hadn't had the right inspiration yet. So thanks to Nicole!! I can't even imagine how long it took you to roll all of those roses... You're a rockstar!! :)
Be sure to link up your tutorials, I would love to see what you're working on!!
XOXO
