DIY SPRING TULIP WREATH

Spring is in the air and that means FLOWERS – FLOWERS EVERYWHERE – and that makes me incredibly happy. Over the past year I have been seeing amazing tulip wreaths on Etsy and to me, they are the epitome of spring. I wanted one. I had to have one... BUT they are upwards of $200. NO WAY was that going to happen on a college student’s budgets. So, like most things, I turned to DIY.

I love the way this wreath turned out. Faux flowers aren't always my favorite, but in some projects I think they simply, just work. I think this project is one of those exceptions and I am pretty happy with it, especially for the cost!
