Michaels has a pretty cool display right now of "raw" things, which mainly includes burlap and cork. One thing on the display is these flowers. I crocheted a little base for each flower, and did a double crochet tube with two strands held together. The orange is Loops & Threads Impeccable, the blue and brown are Craft Smart Value, and the cream is Lily's Sugar and Cream. For construction, I basically follow this tutorial, or you can come to my class next week if you need some in person help.
The thing I like most about that tutorial, is, once you get the hang of making the tube, you can really adapt this wreath for any season! As you can see here, I did it for the 4th:
And I can't wait to come up with a good winter design!!
