However, the 49.99 price tag.. no way!
I decided I could make one.

Using my silhouette portrait I cut out LOTS of the 3d paper rose design,
and then proceeded to put them together.. which took me almost an entire day
on/off to get enough for this one wreath. (and it's not a very big wreath) :0)
So maybe that $50 price tag made a little more sense, but it is not something
I would spend that much money on, so I am glad to have an alternative.
Which didn't cost me much at all to make... just some paper and a lot of time!
After getting them cut out, and put together with a dot of glue.
I started using a glue gun and gluing them onto a wreath form.

I used a bright pink, and a softer pink.. mostly because I ran out of the color to
finish the entire wreath in one color, so I just decided rather than wait to try to find
that same color I would just do a 2 tone wreath.
After it was completed, I wasn't quite sure where to put it.. but then I saw my
clock above my computer just looking kind of boring.

It actually fit perfectly.
Don't ya love when those happy accidents happen?

Thrifty Décor Chick,
Ivy and Elephants,
So pretty! I love the colors you used. It looks pretty around the clock. I bet it did take some time to make all those roses, but I'm with you and would never spend $50 for a bunch of paper...no matter how pretty. Have a great rest of the week!
