Rosette Wreath

I am really not that creative. I like to make things, but I rarely come up with anything on my own. I usually just see something that I like and make it. I guess you could call me a copy cat. ;) And today's project is no exception! I saw this beautiful wreath done by I'm a Yarner and I fell in love with it! I started racking my brain to see if I had the supplies to make this project without going to the store. I had everything but the glitter. But since that was the last step I got started! I did not take pictures of this step by step because I pretty much just used her tutorial.

I got out all the red paper I had - which was about 25 sheets. I then got out my circle cutter and proceeded to cut as many circles as I could before Thing #4 figured out what I was doing. (He seems to love it when I get out my scrapbooking stuff). It only took me about 15 minutes to cut a huge stack of circles out. Then on movie night while I was sitting not really watching the movie with my kids I proceeded to cut the spiral into all of the circles.

I was a little nervous about how long it would take to roll these up, but I got a little tool - can't for the life of me remember what the name of it is - at Archiver's with my coupon just under $5. It made rolling these up so easy. I then just started the glue them onto the wreath form until it was full. I then had to cut out a few more little ones to fill in the blank. I had picked up some glitter with my JoAnn's coupon and then sprayed the wreath with glue and sprinkled glitter on it. (Even being careful I found that I had accidentally glittered some of my counter - but a little elbow grease took care of that.) Then attach the ribbon and hang on the door.

 I was even able to fit this between my door and the screen. I just love the way it looks - it is so pretty! I would have to say that the hardest part of this project was trying to get all the hot glue strands off of the rosettes before I glittered it. It took forever!!
