Vintage Inspired Wreath for Canada Day

Hello friends, today I will be sharing how I made this cute Vintage Inspired Wreath for your Canada Day celebrations. Before I share the DIY steps, let’s chat about the wonderfully creative and thrifty team, have a peek at what thrifty things they are sharing this month.

Thrifty Style Team

The Thrifty Style Team is hosted by  Julie over at Redhead Can Decorate. Each month the TST will be sharing inspiring and thrifty projects,  you can find the whole team and all of the links to their projects at the end of my post.  Here is a sneak peek, so many amazing  projects, right?!

DIY Vintage Inspired Canada Wreath

For this project I used my cricut… OR I tried to. Ugh, I realized that my cutting blade was very dull, after wasting a few sheets of cardstock that is. Once I bought a new blade this project was very fast and easy, this is how I did it.

Supplies

Cricut  Explore Air (with a fresh blade) 😉

White & black cardstock, I also used some vintage music sheets.

Vintage needle-point hoop.

Black spray paint.

Steps

Paint the needle-point hoop black

I found a maple leaf pattern I liked and cut the shape out onto my paper.

I glued two leaves together, I found that just one layer was a little too flimsy, I then arranged the maple leaves until I was happy with them. Lastly I elevated the center leaf and tied some red and white bakers twine around it in a makeshift bow.

The Final Result

I’m loving how the black contrasts off of our kitchen cabinet.

Simple black and white leaves with a tiny nod to Canadian red and white with the bakers twine, I love the simplicity of this wreath.

Not an overwhelmingly red and white Canada Day wreath, I’m into this more subtle version.

Of course maple leaves had to be used… I mean they are as Canadian as can be, eh? 😉
