Galax Roses

I have a grapevine wreath that needs some 

pretty.....

lucky for me, my husband made some galax roses 

at his last workshop and brought them 

home for me to use.

Green galax leaves are gathered, stems are 

taped, and then the "roses" are dipped in gold.

Pretty, huh?!

I chose wide burlap ribbon and a 

narrow gold, wired ribbon to use 

with these galax roses.

To start, I cut a piece of the gold ribbon and 

tied it on the wreath where the bow would be.

Next, I cut a piece of burlap ribbon for the bow tails.

I tied it on the wreath using the gold ribbon.

Now, using the burlap ribbon...

I made a loop, and another and a few more....

then I tied the bow to the 

wreath.

Next, came a small gold bow tied 

on top of the burlap bow.

Looking good.....don't you think.

Glitterinas?!

I love a pretty bow,

It's time to add the galax roses.

I think three under....

.....and two over!

I hot glued the roses on the wreath.

Hot glue can be tricky.....I consider a 

project a success if I don't glue any of my fingers!

Success!

Yay!

I wanted the "under" roses to be a bit closer to the 

bow....

....but the ribbon can be arranged to make 

everything OK.

What do you think, Glitterinas?

I think this wreath looks nice 

in this white door.

This is where it will live for awhile.

What do you think, Glitterinas?

How does it look here?

Let me know what you think, please.

Fun wreath.....made from lots of 

pretty pieces!

I am so glad you stopped by to see what 

I'm up to today.

Thanks for letting me share this 

simple project with you.

Have you made any wreaths?

Please share......

Until next time,

Tammy
