This is the first in a multi - part series. How many parts? I don't actually know just yet because one idea has been exponentially multiplying How many will I end up and share...depends on how long my fingers hold out with all the typing and photo editing! {wink!} I think it's safe to say that almost everybody greets Spring with a few fresh decorations at your doorstep. A wreath, a new welcome mat, lawn ornaments, something...right? Well for the fabric obsessed out there, this one should satisfy.

Start with 1/2" - 1" strips of fabric, felt, some jewels (I found mine in the scrapbook section of our craft store), a glue gun, and wreath.

I cut my strips 6" and 8" in length to make two different size little flowers. Take each strip, put a dot of glue on the end and glue your ends together making fabric links.

Take 4 of your links and stack them. Take a small scrap of fabric and tie them together in the center and then pull them to create a little flower. Add some bling bling to the center.

Next, take a 1" strip about 40" long and make a loose kind of fan with - folding the fabric back and forth and using dots of glue to hold in place and then glue to a piece of felt.

Make 2 of those "fans". Layout your "fans" and your little flowers and see how you'd like them arranged on your wreath. I also added some grosgrain ribbon behind my flowers. Then glue everything in place.

I added a strip of fabric wrapped around the wreath, added a little bunny and a voila! A new Spring wreath! You could even make these little scrappy flowers and glue them to barrette backs to wear in your hair too!

I had an older easter wreath with eggs and I hung it in the center of my new wreath...not sure if I like it but...I'll probably be too lazy to change now.

Up next in the Blooms and Blossoms series...a fringed flower and cute belt tutorial!! {LOVE!!}
