Starfish Wreath

by Linda kelley

A friend was over today, I suddenly had a idea what to do with a green wreath I had. I held the wreath and the burlap in my hand and said "I have a idea for these"! Instantly she said 'I want it". I hadn't even started with it...oh well.

starfish wreath, crafts, how to, wreaths

Here is what I used....

Plus the shells and turtle. I started wrapping the rolled burlap around the wreath.

I wrapped it all around to hide the wreath. Oh, and I used my glue gun at the beginning and at the end. It was nice using my glue gun again. So fast. Anyway, after it was wrapped all around I sprayed it with this to keep the wreath unraveling...really it helps!

I then started doing the same with the net like burlap wrapping it all around.

I knew I wanted a starfish in the corner, so that is where I started. I just added the starfish, then the shells. It needed something, and I remember Arlene saying she wanted it for her beach themed bathroom. So, I had been making the turtles for another project and thought it would be perfect for her. I made it out of material. I then sprayed it with the clear sealer so it would be a little stiff.

I then added the netting I had used to wrap around the wreath. I took a piece and started in in the front of the Starfish went up and wrapped around top to back of wreath, and then down. I also added the small rope to use for hanging. I hot glued the rope on, then stapled.

I added shells and that's it. I'm sorry I don't have any pics to show you...she's coming back later to pick up. Lol.

If you have any questions at all, just ask and I will respond quickly...thank you!

I love this. What a great job!! Do you think I could buy everything you used in a craft store? I would love to make this for my niece but I do not have any of the materials you used.....netting, shells, etc. Also, what size wreath did you use for this?

Could you use a straw wreath instead of the green one?
