Red, White, and Blue Paper Flower Wreath

One of my favorite bloggers, Tessa from Nine and Sixteen, made a fantastic tissue paper flower pom wreath for a shower that she hosted.  I pinned it as a reminder that I wanted to make one like it but was waiting for an occasion.  With Memorial Day and the Forth of July within a few weeks of each other, my red, white and blue wreath will  get a pretty good run. 

Tessa does a great job showing the steps of making the paper flowers.  I followed her steps except I skipped wrapping the form with cloth (because it's white) and instead of gluing my poms in place, I stuck a floral pin through the wire and stuck the pin into the form. 

I took it apart and reworked the order of the poms a few times so the pins worked best for me.  I made 4 big poms and filled in the holes with the smaller ones.  I absolutely love the way it turned out!  It doesn't go with my maroon door (my house has a craftsman style to it so the colors are a little...different.) but I still love it.  I got all of my supplies at Hobby Lobby and there is a coupon on their website!
