What a day it has been! I have done a lot of crafting/projects today. My cousin's wedding shower is tomorrow, so I have been busy getting things together for it. I want to allow those projects to be a surprise for her, so I will post pictures and details later. For now.... I will post a work-in-progress. We were happy to get a new front door this summer. It has made a BIG difference to the look of our house. NOW....my project today and for the next FEW days is to get a wreath made for the door. I have gained SO much inspiration from the website www.pinterest.com. There is a wreath on there that I just HAD to make!!! SO...here is the start of my project and how I am doing it.
This is the start of my project. I first want to tell you the price-breakdown. This is one of the most inexpensive projects I have done. Here is goes:
Grapevine Wreath: $4.99 on sale for $2.50 at Hobby Lobby.
Felt: $.25 a sheet. I bought 4 of each color, but may need more. I spent $3.00
I already had the hot glue gun.
The only other thing left to by is a wreath hook or Command (or Commando hook as Brad calls it.).
So, I just started cutting thin strips of felt. I was not picky on how straight they were. I take the strips and roll them into the spiral circles you see on the wreath. The colors I chose are Dark Green, Medium Green, and Cream. I hot glue the end of the strip when I am finished with the size I want. Then I hot glue it to the wreath!
Simple and VERY inexpensive! :) More photos to follow as I make progress.
