Fabric Flower and Burlap Wreath...

I made this wreath a few months ago for Spring/Summer and hadn't shared it yet:

I handmade the fabric flowers using material, ribbons and buttons.  I love how they turned out:

It works for both Spring or Summer:

I hope ya'll are enjoying your summer as much as I am!

Easter Bunny Door Hanger for Spring (Tutorial)

I look forward to Spring every year because it means flowers, green grass, sunshine and Easter!  One of my New Year's resolutions is to make a wreath/door hanger for every month/holiday (so far, I've kept up!) so I was cruising around Hobby Lobby the other day trying to decide what to do for my Easter Wreath.  I already have my cute plastic Easter Egg wreath found HERE but I really have wanted something with a bunny theme.  So here are the supplies that I bought:

And this is what I made.  Seriously one of the easiest wreaths ever:

Supplies Needed:

2 foam wreaths, one larger than the other

Bow tie (or material to make your own)

Yarn

Ribbon (I used 1 1/2 Spools of white satin)

Bunny ears head band

Thick craft wire

Hot glue/hot glue gun or straight pins

To Make:

Wrap your ribbon around each wreath.  You can either secure the ends with hot glue, or a pin.  

To attach the body wreath to the head wreath, I cut about a 2 inch piece of thick craft wire and stuck half of it in the bigger wreath, hot glued the top of the wreath and then stuck the rest of the wire in the smaller wreath and held until the glue dried (I stuck the wire in between the ribbon so that I didn't have to put a hold in it.)

Make your pom poms from the yarn (a good tutorial can be found HERE by Creature Comforts Blog) and tie them at varies lengths from the bunnies "neck", then attach the bow tie around it.

Finally, I put the bunny headband around the bunnies "head" and attached it with straight pins underneath the headband so that they couldn't be seen (You could do this with hot glue.).

That's it!  Your done!  How cute is he on my door?

I love him :)

Burlap Fall Wreath...

Hello there!  I'm back after a much needed blogging/crafting break.  I've found that sometimes working a stressful full time job, being a mom and wife, daughter, sister, aunt, friend can get in the way of crafting which stinks, but I know what my priorities are! I have missed creating cute crafts and have also missed blogging, so here I am with my latest;

I wrapped a Styrofoam wreath with burlap. I adore the rolls of wire burlap, they make working with burlap so easy!

I made a few cute material flowers and ribbon leaves for the side.

 I stenciled the Fall banner and sewed it to the lace and attached that to the wreath.  Finally, I made a ribbon hanger and I was done.  So easy!

Yarn Wreath: Americana Themed

I whipped this wreath out one night while we were watching movies:

I thought it was kind of blah, so I added some bling:

Love it!

Easter Egg Wreath...

I have a HUGE box full of Easter eggs.  I'm talking about hundreds of those babies.  When the kiddo's were younger, we used to do a massive hunt with my nieces and nephews.  The kids are older now and we no longer have use for hundreds of plastic eggs, so I am finding ways to repurpose them.  I was able to use over 100 of them by making this:

I picked through my box O' eggs ignoring all the pastel colored ones and grabbed only the brightly colored ones, because I wanted to use my brightly colored gift bag shred to fill in any gaps.
I still have 3/4 of a box full of stinking plastic Easter eggs!  No need to worry though, I have plenty of other ideas as to how to reuse them, it just may not get done this year :)

St. Patricks Day Wreath

I made this felt wreath for St. Patty's Day:

It was very simple, but somewhat time consuming cutting out all of the felt circles.  I found the Irish sign at Michael's and thought it was the perfect final touch:

The same wreath could easily be made for every season/holiday by changing the colors of the felt:
