 Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed at Craft. Thank you for watching my tutorial today. This is another Easter project and as you can see it is not finished. You will know what I'm making because you will just see in the video the pictures at the beginning of the video. So this is my Easter wreath, my rosette wreath and I'm going to show you how to put it all together. So I've done all of it. I'm just going to be assembling it because basically all of these rosettes I've already made in two maybe three other tutorials and I'm going to link all of those up here somewhere now. So what I would suggest is decide your colours, you know the kind of theme and things like that where you want to go to then go to my video and make the rosettes and then come back to this video for the you know assembling I guess because it just seems to leave me repeating myself when I it's pretty much the same. So I'm going to talk you through the sizes that I've got so again you know what to cut and and have prepared. So I have taken a picture when I was playing around and laying it all out and I'm going to revert back to that in a minute but first of all I'll go through everything that you're going to need if you want to make the same size and kind of similar to what I've got. So these large ones here these have been cut from so basically to make one of these rosettes. So this is a four inch diameter rosette so you need to cut strips of two inch wide strips and I've basically cut all mine from A4 which is 11 and 5 eighths of an inch long card. So if you're using letter paper that is 11 that will be fine as well. So if you're using a letter paper you'd need two pieces of 11 by 2 and you would make this size. How to actually make them put them together that will be in those videos that I just shared those links to. So for this particular one that I'm making I've got one two three four five of those four inch ones. Okay so that's what you'll need. These on top here are just die cut circles from my punch and then I've just finished them off there on the top with some buttons. Okay so that's four of that size. Then I've got three of these ones here these little green gingham ones and these measure at um they're actually they're one and a half this is three that's a bit over but I think it's because the glue in the middle. So these again would be a strip of A4 or in length or your letter paper so 11 or 11 and 5 eighths by one and a half. So that gives you a three inch diameter rosette. So you would need again two pieces of one and a half by 11 and that will make rosette. So there's three of those ones. I'm going to write all of this down as well in my blog as always so you can obviously just go to that as well. Then I've got one two three of these little ones here which I think are the two inch yep two inch ones. So again you'd need one inch by 11 or one inch by 11 and five eighths and again I've got three of those and then I've got these really tiny ones here which are three eighths of an inch because it gave me a one and a half rosette. So these would be three eighths of an inch by 11 or three eighths of an inch by 11 and five eighths and again I've got four of these ones. Oh that one I didn't put anything on that doesn't matter it's a bit different. Then I've just kind of raided all other bits and pieces that I've got so these here I might not use I might use I don't know these are from um the Nature's Grace um Dovecraft they're an embellishment pack that you can buy um of rosettes so I've just got those ones lying around but the colors maybe that greeny one that would work and maybe that one as well but I don't think that one's it's I haven't got anything purple in this. Um I found this fun little just wood veneer little house I thought it's got a little bit of a spring Easter feel to it so I might use that. These I purchased from the pound shop and I've been playing around pulling out the eggs and kind of putting them into little groupings again I might use these I might not um so that's those start putting everything to one side as I go. I've die cut some butterflies so I thought these could be quite nice so again just go through all your die cuts and see what things you've got. I picked up all of these again from the pound shop I think pound land somewhere like that you go in there at the moment they've got tons of Easter stuff and I know I've been receiving messages and stuff for people saying that they've picked up their carrots so I've got one on here that's um these are a pack of seven from the pound shop we've got the chicks so this was a pack of chicks here from the pound shop um and then yeah those so I might use the chick there or maybe that green that green doesn't really go but the yellow does so I'm trying to really you know just keep within like yellow orange and green um I've got that little peg which I thought could be quite nice somewhere um I've got some of these little daisy flowers again may or not may or may not use them then I've just got these rabbits that I had fussy cut which I use in the Facebook live I've got them left over I might slot them in somewhere and then I've got these um scrabble pieces um I have lots of scrabble pieces I do other things with these um which I might start sharing a bit more now in my tutorials um but I've just got happy so then I'm going to hopefully have that sentiment sat somewhere as well and then some ribbon and a bow so the ribbon I've got for the handle is 20 inches but again I'll probably have it a little bit shorter than that and then just the bow which I'm going to add somewhere as well so I've got my glue going on getting nice and hot and then what I've done is on the back of um some of the paper packs I know especially stamping up they they have this really thick chipboard to stop the card bending in you know when it's being transported and delivered and stuff so I cut this circle out and then obviously the middle so I've got this ring you can go to oh sorry it's not my camera you can go to um you know the the craft shops and order a um order you can buy um wood veneer rings you can buy the polystyrene rings but I've got so much stuff well my mum has because I'm obviously using her bits and pieces but even in my classroom things like this you're not going to see it and I just want it to be something that these will stick to and I can kind of start building it up on so this one here if you're going to be doing that I'd say maybe get a plate something that you've got that is as close to eight inches in the the furthest you know the biggest ring so the outer ring is eight and then I've done it so that it's roughly half an inch all the way around um and it's seven inches then inside so that would give you that half an inch on each side so yeah something roughly like that it's kind of circular it's a little bit wonky but again once you see how I'm going to start putting together it doesn't matter so yeah pretty inexpensive stuff most of this is things I already had it's just these bits here I've recently purchased from the pound shop other than that it's all things that I had in my stash so let's so I've got my phone here and this is the picture that I took when I was playing around and I'm really happy with that one that's the one I'm going to recreate now so first of all I want to get pop all this to one side and I want to get my kind of my handle um the hook put in place and I'm going to glue gun it on to here first um bearing in mind I'm going to have this yellow one there so I want to make sure the hooks you know there's plenty of room there to hang it which I think there is so just with my hot glue this is all a hot glue project not using any other glues apart from this if you've got a silicon spatula I've got one back at home my mum hasn't got one here you can use a bone tool um you just want to prevent yourself from burning but it's only really this bit of fabric that's you would need for that the rest of the stuff just means you could push down on that now I'm carefully doing it I mean you do need to be careful because these glue guns obviously are piping hot but otherwise you could just put the silicone spatula on there and it would save your fingers but that's fine like that and then it's going to be built up now with other bits and pieces and then just trim off that you can't see any of it I also went over this and just um got some white paint and just painted over it but because it's um chipboard it just absorbs it all so it's kind of gone like a gray color but I just wanted something that you know wasn't that original kind of brownie so um picture keeps going I need to open it up properly okay so I'm going to do so this one was pretty much in the middle there so what I want to do is I'm going to put glue on the this bit rather than on this because it's obviously that concertina if I just put the glue there I know a part of it will stick like so just hold that in place and that will do that then the next one I've got the big orange I'm doing all the ones on the bottom first so um all these big ones go down first of all so then this one is like so so again I'm just going to put some glue there need another glue stick I can feel when it's attaching to it the more and more that it's going to get built up on this as well just make it really really strong so then I've got another yellow one kind of get rid of all the glue strings later then I'm going to come around this side and do the other now this one this yellow one isn't attached because I've got this orange one kind of sitting to attach so I'm going to come away a little bit there and then I've got the orange one down here a bit there so you can see and then that one's going to go like so so they're kind of where I want them to be I think I'm going to remove carefully because that glue is still yeah it's still a bit wet so you can see that was the actual color there of what it was before but I mean this is going to go straight over so I'm not worried so I'm going to put that back on again but I want it to come out a bit more did I have it touching um it's kind of like that yeah that's better because I've got more of a gap in the middle there it's looking a bit more even now okay so now I can start adding so this green one is going at the bottom so I'm going to do this one first is going up here so with this one now what I'm going to do is put some glue just on this bit and again on there and quickly stick that down and it will just grab onto it again glue guns are great because they only need a little bit to kind of stick to and once it sets that's it it's stuck in there so what's that one and then so I've got one like that and I've got another one I'm going to stick this one down first okay so that one's stuck down and then that one I'm going to kind of sandwich the end bits in there and put a bit of glue on these two sides kind of like that okay and then I'm going to go up to this top here and I've got that one which again is kind of sandwiched on the sides there so and another glue stick you do use quite a lot of glue up with this put a bit on there okay so I'm just holding those ones in place there because I've put two together kind of again one on top of the other but it's starting I lift it up you can see it all holds really well um okay go back to my picture again so then I've got this big one here keep looking up in the camera making sure yeah that looks good there so this one's a bit more of a larger surface so I can just pretty much just add some glue this isn't the best glue gun but it is my mum's but she doesn't really do this kind of stuff a lot so I'll let her off okay stick that one there so then I've got this one that's kind of connected and then I've got like this one here and then I've got this orange one underneath here as well so really that needs to sit in that yellow one like so and then they're kind of kind of be clustered together like that I just bring that up a bit and just keep moving it kind of like that needs to go up in there a little bit more just so I'm keeping that kind of circle effect so I'm just going to get these three stuck down so that's that little cluster put together there and then I've got me to I don't know whether to add that one there now I'm thinking I might put one up under here because I've got a little bit of the well you can't see it but I can see it when you look down now I'm going to put some glue just on that ring and then I can just slide that one in okay I really like it so this has been such a lovely project to do because I just sat down with a good movie and just made all the rosettes which again if you cut and prepare all your strips first then do all the concertina folds and then glue them all together which again you'll see and I mentioned this in the tutorials for that it's just it's a really this is now just the fun bit this is really really I'm enjoying doing this just make sure we get rid of that there I just don't know where to put this last one I want to use it trying to keep looking up in the video to see does it look quite good there does it need something under here to balance it out or should it be down there okay I'm still playing around with that one but I quite like having that happy easter in the middle like that so it's going to kind of dangle so I've got some orange ribbon I'm just going to try so they're really snug so I know how close that needs to be done so I'm just going to remove that put that to one side and because these are scrabble pieces they are hollow inside so you can only glue that bit there so I'm literally going to stick it onto this fabric so I'm just going to run some hot glue along that top bit there and obviously because it's going on fabric hot glue and fabric are good I'm putting it right to the top because I don't mean I'm not bothered about actually seeing the ribbon like so and I want them really really close together so I'm just going to go along and stick these all down as the ribbon bends you can see it just kind of has a nice shape to it so that will sit in nicely and then the easter I need to do exactly the same again so I'm just going to grab this stick that on the top and there is the easter E A S T E R you know when you look at something and then think that you spelled it wrong just up this thought then that oh that doesn't look right but there you go so that is my two little sentiments so just trim that down roughly the same so now we need to attach this onto the back so let's just bring it back over and check how this is all going to work so they're going to bend around a little bit so the happy is going to go quite high up and then the easter will be again in there like so but it's going to bend they're going to be kind of on an angle draping down like so so I'm now going to flip this over so you can see how it all looks on the backs it's all relatively nice and neat and tidy and I've got my gauge as to where the top is with that so I know and I'll say the letters can still be seen the idea is is that they're going to sit up on the sides quite taut like so but enough then to kind of case what I've done is I've put the easter running right the way underneath it but the two of them together so on the back you can see there how I've just done them I mean if you want to tidy it up more on the back you can I guess but I'm not gonna you could put something on the back there but I like that I think that looks really nice and we're going to build up even more around it now as well so obviously still got this little house that can go in somewhere I've got these butterflies so I think I'm going to have one on top of the other and have it kind of coming into this area here like so a little embellishment or something on there as well this one's going to be just coming up this little peg which I don't know whether to do might have something I might say something or it could be well actually I've got my bow bow needs to go in as well stick on to that and kind of wrap around the sign that's good that I go so I'm literally just I don't know what I'm doing I'm just playing with it because the good thing with this kind of stuff is more is better just keep adding to it building it up you've got a little embellishments I've got these eggs here I've got these little nests I can add this although that looks like a grape don't they look like grapes maybe not those ones so again just sticking that onto the side of that rosette okay so now I've got all these little bunnies let's get these out as well we can just pop a couple just some little small ones just kind of on my little chick what's happened to my chick where's his face gone oh he's all disappeared my chick is dissolved look he's coming apart oh dear what's happened to him I'm gonna have to trim him off oh look there's his face do not know what happened to that little one there let's just at least get the feet off there we go because the rest of that doesn't matter because this one can sit over the top oh poor little fella you didn't last long did you right let's sit this one back on um what's it doing to bunnies what we got I think the ones that are kind of like grazing look quite okay I'm gonna have this guy this little felt guy let's get another glue stick quite like him again I might put a little bow or something in his hair he's gonna kind of go on here like so I've still got this one I really want to use it maybe it could just be like I'm gonna put it up there I'm just gonna have it overlapping a little bit like so um still would like to use this house maybe that could go in there somewhere I think I'm gonna have this house down here because it kind of needs to still be quite centered rather than just so perched on that side and then maybe I have a couple of these little daisies kind of squashed in as well they could look quite good I think that's doubled up there maybe something hidden in there with some little kind of yellowy orange embellishments I'm going to put one in the middle of that one there I'm not going to put the loads but just a couple on top of these buttons just again to give it just another dimension there's a lot going on on this but that's what I like I've gone very over the top but do you know what I like it and that's a nice thing about when you do these kind of projects they're so individual like there's I'm not going to see this exact one anywhere else and that's what's I love um okay what else do we need oh I've also got some pom poms I'm sure we could add a few little silly they look quite good as well and these are good for like just stuffing in if you've got anywhere that might have a bit of glue or you've got something you know you need to cover up there's all different sizes here again these were from the pound shop I'm going to put one in there that kind of pads that out a bit you can see that all different colors got tiny but even really dinky ones here these could look quite fun let's grab a couple more of these no orange ones though what else do you think I should add any more you're probably watching that going no that's it that's it that's it all those people going yeah do more do more do more I won't win and I know there's going to be some people that are probably going to think look at this and think oh so but again I don't care I'm having fun that's what crafting's all about it brings me joy do you know what though I think I am going to leave it there I think that is really really good I love it I absolutely adore that it's springs it springs it screams spring Easter happy all those lovely things there's so much to look at I'm still going to try and incorporate that peg somewhere and I might have a little thing in it just saying like spring is here and pop that somewhere there's no reason why that couldn't maybe go up there you may see it in the picture you may not but there you go anyway that is it so like I said revert back to the other tutorials for how to make a rosette but this one was then showing you how to put it all together pictures will be hanging it will be hanging up so you'll be able to really see it in more natural light but there you go if I bring it up closer and kind of work my way around so you can see there I've got the little chick got the butterfly with the gem all the rosettes bow the daisy I've put a little rabbit in there might add to another one of them and obviously the happy Easter but when that's up then it's like that again I think that looks rather splendid so there you have it so I hope you like this home interior project from me today and it just shows you don't have to go out and spend tons of money and buy a really expensive wreath you can do it yourself for pennies so there you have it hope you like it please hit the thumbs up if you did enjoy and subscribe to my channel to see more thanks for
