Burlap wreaths

I have these old shutters outside my side door entry way.  I love the chippy white paint on them, but they could use a little bling.  My metal motel chairs are in pastel green and turquoise, so I decided to make these wreaths to pull it all together. 
I bought two styrofoam wreath forms and some burlap fabric.  I cut the burlap into 2 inch wide strips.  Then, I hot glued the fabric onto the wreaths as I wrapped it around.  Next came some little crocheted flowers in the green and turquoise colors.  A burlap bow and some buttons finished them off.  I tacked them onto the shutters.  This was a quick and easy project that I thought you might like to see.
  Have a great day, Jean
