How tos! Ombre Wreath Monique Harroun
Ombré seems to be all the rage these days but I
can’t wrap my head around ombré hair, I just can’t justify spending money on grow out when i used to spend so much on avoiding it, so I decided to use it in my fall decor instead.
Supplies:
Straw wreath (leave in wrapper) Yarn (I used one brown and one green) Felt (I used white, cream and brown) Hot glue gun

Step 1 Wrap your wreath with the yarn. You can tie the yarn to itself or just use a little hot glue to get started. The tighter and closer together the better. Don’t try to make it perfect the imperfections look intended. Then criss-cross some green yarn around the wreath for a pop of color.
Step 2 Felt flowers! To make these little beauties first cut a “bumpy circle”. Then cut anywhere into the circle and cut around and around to make a strip. Start at one end and wrap the strip together. Hot glue the bottom and the end, then stick it on your wreath. Make as many or as few as you like. You can add other embellishments like acorns, grapes and bows as you please. Make it your own!
Voila! Your own wreath :) 5 | OCTOBER 2012
A look into who we are.....
Monique Harroun is a stay at home mom with a “go get em” attitude to get things
done. We knew from the start what we wanted in a magazine; a place to share our love of crafts, party planning, photography recipes and connecting with other moms. We also knew we wanted it to be fabulous, vintage, cheeky, and yet modern. With a few names in the works this fabulous mama imagined “Lollipops and Lace” It was perfect and encompassed our magazine to a “T.” Enjoy this sneak peek at L&L and make sure you come back for more. . . . .
