I have a thing for square wreaths, but they cost way too much for me. I decided to make my own using foam core board. It was so simple. I just used a ruler to draw out the size I wanted. Mine measures 15″ x 18″, with the form width being 3 1/4″.
Then I used an exacto knife to cut it out.
I wrapped the form in yarn. Hubby helped me about 1/2 way through and it went a lot faster then. I secured the yarn with hot glue in about 3 places on the back of each side.
The angles took a lot more glue and more time to keep everything in the right place. I like how it turned out though.
I had these big flowers in my flower stash. I made the center out of twine by wrapping it and using hot glue to keep it in place. I got the idea from Layla.
Here’s a closer look. I love the texture it adds.
Next I wanted to add a little bunting. I cut pieces of scrapbook paper 2″ x 1 1/4″ and then cut them into triangles using the paper cutter.
I secured them to rick rack using hot glue.
Then hot glued the bunting to the wreath, securing it to the back of the form.
I tied a ribbon to the top of the wreath, then hung it on the door.
A cute Spring wreath and it only cost me $1. 60 to make. I only had to buy the yarn.
The flowers give your frame a nice touch and I love how you used the twine in the center. The yarn on your frame has the look of twine, too.
I love it! Square wreaths are my fav too! Its so simple but so pretty!
Love the banner and flowers!
I love this Leanne! I just might have to steal the idea and make one for me.

That’s adorable, springy, and uber cheap. Way to go.
I really like this!
That is super clever and so cute! I love making wreaths of all types & for all occasions & decor situations, but sometimes getting the basic form is expensive. Thanks for a great way to do it on the cheap.

I think this is sooo cute! LOVE the mini bunting and how inexpensive this project is! I already have everything I would need! This is definitely going on my list of things to do for spring. Thanks for the inspiration!
That is so very pretty. I like how elegant it looks. I’m beginning to see more and more square wreaths, and I think I’m going to have to try my hand at one of them soon.
Oh, I really like this. The twine in the middle of those flowers really does set it off nicely. Thanks for sharing.
Seriously adorable wreath. I love the addition of the bunting. And I love that you used foam core… brilliant!
Absolutely adorable!! I love it!
Love your wreath – I recently wrapped one with yarn (round) and it was a piece of work, so I appreciate the time you put into this beauty. Really like the twine centers on the flowers. Beautiful!
So pretty, I love yarn wrapped frames, I love the flower embellishment too!
Thanks for linking up to the party!
