Merry Christmas My Deer Wreath

Happy Sunday!
This is Merry Christmas My Deer by Country Cottage Needleworks finished into a wreath ..I started this for Stitchmaynia I think 2 years ago and finished stitching it this Spring ..

***Please remember if you copy my finishing ideas that you be considerate and give a link to my blog or facebook page..****

I used Classic colorworks floss in the colors ..Mistletoe , Licorice Red , Cocoa Bean and Bamboo .. I stitched it on light blue 28 count evenweave that I coffee /tea dyed .. Calvin is so happy this morning :)

To make the wreath I used a white wreath I had had for a while .. The wood deer piece at the top came from Hobby Lobby ..I attached it to the top of the wreath with ribbon . I added a  flat wood piece to the wreath to mount the stitching on . The stitching was mounted to sticky board with 2 layers of batting underneath ..and red gingham was also mounted to sticky board for the backing ..  I glued both pieces together and then glued them to the wood piece on the wreath ..

I made 3 bows from 2 kinds of ribbon and added greenery picks that have a vintage look ..I wanted the wreath to be very vintage looking and I think I achieved that ..

Thanks so much for stopping by!
