Now you can make sure every holiday is “green” with these eco-friendly designs from dreaminggiggles on Etsy. This designer calls these creations “wreath cycles” as opposed to re-cycling. Clever and super funky at the same time! She has a Masters in Art Education and absolutely loves to create. More of her creations can be seen at her blog site dreaminggigglesdesign.com. She does a ton of custom painting and hand lettering of signs and plaques that are absolutely gorgeous!
These eco-friendly wreaths are made from old sweaters cut up into squares and strung together. The Halloween wreath is made out of black and gray sweater squares and then draped in gruesome spider webs. Grosgrain ribbon is added to as a hanger and as an accent bow on the bottom. The Christmas wreath is made out of red and green sweaters and accented in the same manner with grosgrain ribbon.
These wreaths feel totally retro and hip at the same time. Very folksy, funky and fashionable! She makes them in full wreath size (approx 11 inches) as well as in smaller diameter sizes (approx 4.5 inches) for ornaments that would look outstanding on any tree. I think these would be fantastic as an ornament exchange or a teacher’s gift as well. Check out her Etsy site for info on what’s available before she’s all out!
