Incidentally, did you happen to know that the word in Spanish for calla lily is alcatráz? Just a little bit of Monday morning trivia for you. ;)
Supplies:
Burlap
Assorted fabric scraps
Disappearing ink pen
Scissors
Pinking Shears
Spray adhesive
Aluminum floral wire
Twine
Wreath (I like the grapevine style for this project, but whatever you have on hand is fine)
Spray paint (green and your preferred color for your wreath)
Hot glue
Ribbon
Raffia
A few additional project notes:
- If you aren't in the market for a new wreath, these flowers would be fabulous adorning a frame or a pretty tray. Or, make the wire center a bit longer so you can display these in a tall vase.
- Burlap not your style? Felt would be a terrific alternative.
- No floral wire on hand? Try using sections cut from wire hangers.
- When assembling your flowers, you can use scissors to snip off the bit of wire from your flower center that sticks out of the bottom of your lily after you complete the gluing step. Or, if you'd rather, leave that bit of wire there to make securing your flowers onto things a snap. It's up to you!
Have a terrific week!
Please take a moment to visit these terrific places where I'll be sharing this project!

It is beautiful! Calla lilies grow readily here in Portugal so this is so fun to see. Hope to make this or a variation like you mentioned soon!

Wow! I have been looking for a wreath to make for the summer season nd this tutorial is screaming my name. I already have just about all of the supplies. I can't wait.
Calla Lillies? Seriously? These are breathtakingly gorgeous and so different from what is usually out there. I wish I could comment more but I would just be blubbering on and on...
Absolutely stunning wreath. I have been looking for a different take on homemade flowers and your tutorial makes them look manageable.
Beautiful work - your house must be a show-stopper.

last few days our class held a similar discussion on this subject and you point out something we have not covered yet, appreciate that.

This is gorgeous! I love that it's handmade without looking too "crafty", if that makes sense. So unique & beautiful.
Those calla lilies are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
What a fantastic idea! I LOVE the calla lilies!
In Spain they are called "CALAS" we have never called alcatraz
