Burlap wreaths - on the simpler side

I've been making wreaths for a while now. This week, I made two wreaths that were more on the simpler side. I love how both of them turned out and am hoping for more interest in ones like this as, while they are simpler, they still make a statement. They can be made to match any decor as well or could be hung on the front door. Initials/monograms provide a personal touch but they don't have to be used. More flowers can be added or no flowers can be used and a bow could be attached. Options abound while maintaining the simpler side of burlap wreaths.

I was asked to make a giant yo-yo with a monogram center. I've been asked to do this before but it has been awhile. This one was to be done in black and white so I used 1.5" zebra ribbon layered on top of 3" black ribbon - both are grosgrain. The button is a black G on white fabric. A wonderful woman named Jenni Deal does all embroidery/monogram work for me. She is wonderful to work with and does beautiful work. Please contact me for details if you'd like to get in touch with her. Overall, I like how this one turned out and would love to create more. Please feel free to contact me for details of this one or visit my page on Facebook. Thank you!
