Cotton Pickin Wreath with a Burlap Bow



I've been wanting to make a cotton wreath for a while now.....



Inspired by....
the cotton from our farm!
{we have an abundance of it at the end of the year}
Yup, that's right, my big boys and I hand-picked our own cotton! 


I honestly love how helpful they are!


I just kept adding cotton branches and wrapping them with wire to hold them to the wreath.


Gave it the final touch of a big burlap bow 
and a little junk bow {that I learned how to make on Spark Your Christmas}
and voila!  A cotton wreath to be enjoyed year round!









I also put several large and small branches of cotton in between the branches of our Christmas tree to add more fullness and the look of snow.


I love all this Arizona cotton!!!!!

Hmmmm, wondering if the sweat pants you're wearing right now could have been made from our cotton???

  4. I love what you've done with your cotton. Do you sell it anywhere? If not, do you know a farm close to me that would? I'm at Hayden & 101 in north Scottsdale. My husband & I are from Mississippi & Louisiana so having cotton in our home would be special.

    Thx,
    Marissa
