"Welcome Spring!"
Time again for another new "Welcome" wreath! This time we are featuring our recycled, thrift store, pillow case Spring wreath for you! We love that we found pillow cases in our Easter theme colors and that the polka dot print is fun! It didn't take us long to complete this cheery little Spring wreath, and we love the way it turned out too!
If this is your first time visiting us, "Welcome, we are happy you stopped by"! For those of you who have been with us for awhile, thank you for hanging around, and you already know that we love crafting and decorating our home, being as frugal as possible. Hence, the thrift store pillow case wreath!
Our goal: Wanting to make a new Spring time wreath, inexpensively and easily.
What we needed: material, wreath form and embellishments.
What we bought: Two thrift store pillow cases for $2.00.
What we had: Grape vine wreath and butterfly.
What we did: We cut open at the seams the pillow cases {shown above}. We than proceeded to make little cuts the same width on the pillow case and than rip them apart.
What we don't like: The strings from the material. It can make it look messy and at the same time homemade. So, we cut some off and left some on.
After we had a good amount of strips torn, we cut those in half, and began tieing them onto the wreath all the way around.
The pillow cases had a purple polka dot edge on it that we saved and made little purple rosettes out of to embellish our wreath.
This pretty butterfly from the dollar tree was a great addition to making our Spring wreath more Spring like.
Using some left over material scraps, we went back over the wreath and filled in a few spots.
Gave the wreath a little string clipping and a little fluffing, and called it a day!
We placed our wreath in the special "Welcome" wreath spot on the door.
We love how the colors of the wreath tie in with the rest of our Easter decor colors.
Hopefully we have inspired you to turn an old pillow case into a pretty Spring wreath to decorate your Spring home! Be inspired, get creative!
A false witness will not go unpunished,
And he who speaks lies will not escape.

This is so so cute. What a great way to use up extra fabric too. Thanks for sharing at this week's BFF Open House!
ReplyDeleteI like how it's taking something you might have thrown away and it's repurposing it! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis is the best pillowcase upcycle I've seen! Take that, pillowcase skirt! I've seen lots of burlap wreaths like this but the pattern on the pillowcase gives it so much more character. Lovely :)
