Today I have a wreath that I made using the Cricut Essentials cartridge that comes on the E2. I have always loved wreaths. Never did I think I could make one using my cricut until recently. I was asked to make one using this cartridge and this is what I came up with. It was super easy too. The hard part was putting the yarn around the wreath itself. That took forever! The Cricut part was super simple though. You WILL need a hot glue gun for this one for sure!

| I just cut the flowers at varying sizes and layered them. Then added a button to the center. Easy peasy! |

I absolutely LOVE your wreath. Gorgeous - I saw the sneak peek in Everyday Cricut and I had to get a full look. BEAUTIFUL!!!
Pretty wreath! Love the flowers! TFS.
Melanie .. the wreath is PRECIOUS!!! LOVE It
I know what you mean about the yarn wreath. The yarn part takes forever! Using paper flowers is a great alternative to felt flowers. I found the felt flowers took a lot more than hot to to adhere. Looks great, thanks for the inspiration!
I really love the wreath idea ... I think I am going to have to make one for Halloween for my new place. Thanks so much for sharing!
I have never made a wreath, but this one is so beautiful and looks like maybe even I can make it! Thanks for the inspiration!
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Pretty wreath! Maybe you could use some strips of fabric instead of yarn and it wouldn't take as long.
What an awesome wreath. Love it. I have white yarn also. Thanks for the inspiration.
Awesome idea!! Gives me a great idea for a Christmas one :)
What a pretty wreath!! I think you could also wrap it with material, it would not take as long to cover. Thank you!
Lovely! And I can see your spray of flowers over a mirror or photo frame. Great idea!
Fabulous idea! Thank you for the inspiration.
Oh my goodness. This is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!! I could not love it more! I have got to try one of these! BEAUTIFUL!!! Hugs- Glora

The wreath is gorgeous!! i have to explore that cartridge more,love the flowers
So pretty! I've been thinking wreaths too! I love this floral but don't own an E2. I DO own CTHM Art Philosophy, flower Shop & the other floral lite cart.I bet I can find florals there to use. SO pretty! Am thinking wreaths for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas....the list goes on!
TFS!
That wreath is so pretty!! I love it thanks for sharing. I will have to make a wreath after seeing yours.

Fabulous wreath. I love the endless ideas you share, thanks.
It's very pretty Melaine! I'm surprised you didn't put flowers all the way around the wreath! LOL
That probably would have taken forever to do! :o)

Great holiday idea! or even a spring time wreath
I just LOVE those flowers!!! TYFS!
This wreath is so darling! I just bought a pair of tweezers so that I can start cutting smaller cuts to make flowers etc. for my projects. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us!
Your wreath turned out wonderful. I really love the flowers!

Cute idea...although making cards is my favorite...I am always looking for different ideas to use my cricut. What a neat gift idea also.
This is really pretty! Love the little blue berries!
oooh i love this idea !it can be so seasonal and not expensive....very clever.
clever ~ and very unique

Very nice wreath! Bet it would look good with ribbon in place of the yarn too. Thanks for the chance to win the 2009 cartridge!
Nice wreath. I enjoy seeing how the Cricut can be used for things other than cards and page layouts. The card and layouts are awesome also, but the more I see that can be done with my new toys the more excited I get. Thank you so much for sharing such great ideas.
THATS WAY TO CUTE, IT WOULD LOOK FREAT IN A LITTLE GIRLS ROOM OR BETTER YET ON THE FRONT DOOR, SO EVERYONE CAN SEE IT. OMG I CAN SEE A HALLOWEEN AND THANKSGIVING ONE, CHRISTMAS ONE, I COULD GO ON & ON & ON LOL. THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO AND SHARING. 1205love@gmail.com
The wreath is so cute, you are so creative.

I really like how you done your wreath by using the yarn and then making the flower out of paper use a cricut machine. Thank you for sharing.
Have a great week :)

Very pretty wreath! Thanks so much for your clever ideas!
What a pretty wreath! This would be easy to make to match any decor or season!
So pretty! Love your use of the cartridge - great piece of home decor!
This is so cute! I'm envisioning one for every season! :)
That is so nice. Thank you for sharing that with us.
Soooo pretty. The space between my front door and the storm door is not very deep but I love wreaths. This looks like the answer for me.
The wreath is beautiful - but I think I'll try something else for the wrap - maybe tulle. Thanks for getting the creative juices flowing. Loster
Wow, this looks soooo elegant. I Love It! Smooches... Felicia
