Groovy Vintage 70’s Wreath DIY

This is the super fun groovy vintage 70’s wreath that is on our front door – perfect for spring or summer.

I’ve had this amazing vintage 70’s fabric sitting around waiting for a project. I found the fabric at a yard sale, and it reminded me of my childhood bedroom.

The Supplies

Wreath Form

70’s Fabric

Tacky Spray

Butterfly

Ribbon

The Vintage 70’s Wreath DIY

I laid the form on top of the fabric to make sure I had enough.

I cut a hole in the middle and started spray-gluing the fabric around the form. I went back and used the hot glue gun for the bigger pieces folded over.

I hot glued the adorable butterfly and added a pretty yellow ribbon. What used to be someone’s curtains is now adorning our front door. Don’t you love re-purposing vintage materials?

I was going to add some additional flowers, but I think this butterfly holds his own.

Welcome guests and welcome spring!

My mom had the silver star burst with pearl center brooch. I wore it for many years. I retired mine last year…silver was fading. Thanks for bringing back memories.
