Wreath...

I finally found it time to get rid of my easter egg wreath...just a few months too late and wanted to make something fun for the summer months. I found this tutorial at http://tatertotsandjello.blogspot.com/2010/01/2010-burlap-wreath-and-giveaway.html. I had all the burlap, fabric and also used some felt that I had on hand. I got the wreath form and jewled brads at Michaels for under 10 bucks and away I cut...I ended up probably making over 100 "flowers" which sounds a lot more time consuming than it is (once you cut TONS of circles )you can just layer them in two's or three's and use the brads to keep them together. When I ran out of brads I just hot glued them and then just started layering them on the wreath, once I had wrapped it in burlap. It didn't take long at all and is an easy project to do after the kids are in bed and I think it turned out pretty cute too!

I am so impressed. You are so crafty!! Were you always this crafty in CA? Because I have a theory that midwesterners are far more crafty- but it might be wrong. :) I want to make one!!! And I might see you and Kerst this weekend. :) When are you coming to the city? It's not that far from you. And we have lots of fun things. And I'm here. So please come!
