Flower Christmas wreath

Happy Australia Day! Hope you've got a fun day planned.
While today's project is not Australia Day themed, I thought you might like to know a bit more info about the flower wreath I shared on Christmas Day. My fab friend Kellie & I spent a great day making them together, which made it even more fun. Here's a pic of my final wreath:

We started off by covering a flat backed polystyrene ring with the brown paper that comes with our SU orders. Then we die cut lots of flowers in card & DSP using a combination of flower dies & punches & glued them together. We pinned the flowers onto the ring to get them placed how we wanted, then used Tombow Mono glue to permanently attach them to the ring - it's very strong. Once they dried, we attached buttons to the flower centres. This details really finished them off beautifully I think.
I used a whole pack of Naturals Designer Buttons (3 sizes included) & about 5 large Brushed Bronze buttons (Holiday Catalogue) & die cut cardstock buttons using the Sweet Buttons embosslit die to use as centres on the remaining flowers. Here's a closer shot:

I attached some ribbon to the ring to hang it up on a hook. You can't see the ribbon when hung. Kellie used some cherry cobbler tulle to make a visible hanging bow for hers, which looked fab too. All up, it took about 5 hours for us to complere both wreaths (with lots of chatting & lunch in-between) & we were pretty thrilled with the result.
Thanks for visiting & if you have any questions about the wreath, just leave me a comment or drop me an e-mail.
Inky wishes, Di
