Recipe Wreaths

I absolutely love recipes. . . . . . recipe books, recipe cards, recipes online.  I love recipes.  I saw a wreath on pinterest that someone had made with old handwritten recipe cards and just had to make my own. 

I used some old scraps of shelf paper that had used in my hoosier cabinet years ago to create the middle of the wreath.  I folded several sections of paper accordian style and then used a needle and thread to sew the sections together in the middle.

I used a medium sized flat wreath that I had purchased at Michael's.  Note:  I never buy anything at Michael's or JoAnn's without using 40% or 50% off coupons that can be scanned straight off my phone app.  I love that!  I don't have to worry about cutting out coupons and carrying in my purse.

I used a glue gun to glue the vintage, handwritten recipe cards that I found on Etsy to the edge of the wreath.  Then I glued the shelf paper piece to the middle of the wreath.  Lastly I placed a vintage hand crocheted potholder in the very center of the shelf paper.

I couldn't stop with just one.  I made one for my friend Sandra too.
