From Patriotic Wreath to Summer Wreath

Remember my Patriotic Wreath from last week?

Well I pulled a Superman* and now have a Summer Wreath!

(*You know...one minute you're Clark Kent then next you're Superman!)

I discovered a new way to make a medallion! By accident as I was trying to make a ruffle! Tip: if you want a ruffle with the thread running down the center I find it best to use the sewing machine and not by hand! This is probably a "Duh!" ☺

Supplies:

Wreath

Fabrics

Needle & thread

Ribbon

Hot glue gun

Felt and pins

♦

I used fabrics and ribbon I had already.  The yellow fabric was given to me and honestly I did think "what am I going to do with yellow-gold fabric?" Well I think it goes great with good ole' pink! 

I cut a strip about 3 1/2 inches wide by 22 inches long and down the center made a long stitch....

....then I pulled it to ruffle it but it was not what I wanted! So I just pulled it all the way tight and looky there!  Looks like a medallion!

To secure it, I ran the needle back threw....did this a couple of times.

Then I tied ribbon around the middle and knotted in the back.  Used my really big thumb! (It's not really but wow!)

I then fanned it out and hot glued together....

....made 2 pink and 2 yellow of the same size.  Then went a little bigger and made 2 more pinks. And lastly made a bigger yellow...7 altogether.  Hot glued felt and pin to the back of each and.........

.......just like that! A Summer Wreath!

I'm liking this no cost wreath!

If you're wondering about me needing to make a ruffle, I am working on replacing the Patriotic Flag I made for a guest post at Craftionary !!  I'm so stinkin' excited!! 

Happy Thursday!
