Rustic Driftwood Wreath Free Tutorial by Alisa Burke of Alisa Burke

If you're looking for a decoration with a rustic appeal you'll be happy to know that Alisa Burke has a terrific tutorial on her Alisa Burke - Redefine Creativity blog showing you how to create a rustic wreath out of driftwood.

Rustic Driftwood Wreath

Copyright © 2010 - All Rights Reserved - Written by Alisa Burke of Alisa Burke.

Here's what Alisa had to say about her tutorial: I am still here at the Oregon Coast and still challenging myself to create with the materials I have on hand! After I created my driftwood city tutorial I had a big pile of driftwood left over and I wanted to create a simple, rustic wreath from all the little pieces. I'm sure its pretty obvious by now that I LOVE making unique wreaths - they are the perfect little object to make with what you have on hand! This project (as simple as it looks) actually took me FOREVER to figure out- but I was finally able to make a wreath that worked!
