  Step 1

  Spray ink make a truly gorgeous mess of any two-ply paper towels you use for clean up. You can also intentionally spray them and use them as a versatile craft materia. Re-inker, water and a little perfect pearls or liquid water color are just as good for this as Glimmer Mist; but both worked wonderfully. Plain old food coloring in a spray bottle is probably good too.

  I cut wide strips of burlap and wrapped them around a Dollar Store wreath frame. Whenever I came to an end of a piece I hot glued it down, grabbed a new piece and kept wrapping. Sorry for the lack of pictures - if you need one to visualize it, let me know and I'll snap a few of the back of my wreath.

  Next came flowers. I wasn't concerned with them matching too much and wanted them to all be different. Here's a few ideas:

  It's probably pretty clear how most of these are made, but just in case it's not, here are a few step outs to get you started:

  1. Cut circles by folding paper towels until at least three thick. Circles don't need to be perfect. Staple in center.

  Step 5

  2. Put a dab of hot glue in the center and scrunch it a bit.

  Step 6

  3. Separate the layers if using two-ply paper towel. This fluffs up the flower. Do one layer at a time. (This pic shows the layers pre-scrunch, I was designing on the fly)

  1. Cut circles again, but this time squish them into bow tie shapes.

  Step 8

  2. Staple them together criss-crossed in a flower shape.

  Step 9

  3. Fluff and add a center.

  Step 10

  4. Add a contrasting flat (non-scrunched) bottom layer if desired.

  Step 11

  Arrange your flowers on wreath. Hot glue to wreath form.
