{Frugal Friday} A Summer Wreath

It's back.
This little feature has been MIA for about 
three weeks now.


Sorry about that.


However, today's little beauty is fun and cheap.
How cheap?


Well, for me it was FREE
because I already had all of the supplies.


I finally thought that I should 

change my wreath out from the Spring Sweater Nest one that I made

a months back.

Sorry, no tutorial,
but I can give you some details.

Just look at the deliciousness of these two colors. 

I sort of want to make my entire front porch 

look something like this.

I used two sweaters that I had in my scrap box.

They were supposedly larges, 

maybe they should've been in the children's section.

Additional supplies were a green wreath form from the DollarTree 

and a frame that I broke the glass on the other day 

while attempting to prep it for an entirely different purpose.

Anyway, I bought the sweaters several years back for $6 each.

I wore each a handful of time, 

enough to get my money out of them.

Now here they are.

I created two textures, one with each color.
The coral is a layer wrap,
while the blue is flat and smoother.
I love the depth that this adds.


I put a contrasting bow in the bottom corner of the frame.

And . . . 

my favorite detail is the buttons from the collar.

I used the entire henley/hoodie trim 

as a wrap around the center wreath.

The buttons are just too cute.

I still have enough scraps left to make some sweateralls 

in the Fall/Winter for my ETSY shop.

I love it all.

Any thoughts?

What sort of Summer Splashes are you currently adding to your home?
