18 Beach Holiday Wreath

Décor Tutorial

Beach Holiday Wreath

Since I recently finished making the guy-friendly Bike Tire Wreath {seen here}, I thought why not make another?

So I went junking in my own garage. I saw sad, old 50cc bike inner tube in the garage & thought it would make the perfect wreath form.

We live at the beach, so I decided on a mix of beachy and holiday elements.

Starfish & Felt Ruffles

The tube got a coat of ocean blue paint, then was adorned with No-Sew Felt Poufs {tutorial here} and starfish.

Read on for a tutorial.
