August Wreath

I finally made the time to change the wreath on my front door. I had been sporting the Patriotic wreath for two extra days because I've been a tad bit lazy. Oops! Anyways, I took my July wreath down and was pondering what to do with the August wreath. I seriously stared at my blank wreath for about fifteen minutes. J was starting to worry about me. Then, I got smart....I went on Pinterest!

Do you Pinterest? If not, you need to get on board. Seriously because it is a fantastic website. I am a little obsessed with it and I'm not embarrassed to admit it.

Anyways, I found a few inspiring wreaths but the one that I absolutely fell in love with was found at A Pretty Life in the Suburbs. It was awesome and I was excited to duplicate it. I changed the yarn to a pretty beige color and found felt flowers that were already made at JoAnn's. (Again, I've been lazy.)

Anyways, this is my wreath. What do you think?

I like it so much...it may be my August/September wreath!!

Fourth of July Wreath

So since it's almost July, I went ahead and finished my patriotic wreath in honor of the fourth of July. It didn't take much to do since I haven't got the funds or the time for a lavish one. I went to Hobby Lobby where they were selling Fourth of July items at 40% off and picked up a white garland with tiny flags all over it. Originally it cost $4.99 but at 40% off, I got it for $2.99. Yay!

So I took a Styrofoam wreath that I had on hand and wrapped the garland around it until it was sufficiently covered. I could have left it like that but it looked a little plain so I dug through my craft closet and came up with 3 patriotic pinwheels. So I broke them off the stick, put some hot glue on the end and stuck it into the Styrofoam. It turned out way better than I could have imagined!!

Summer wreath

So my house has been a mess of sickness lately. First it was Peanut and now it's Daddy and Bulldozer. Yuck! In between taking care of my boys, I finally managed to finish my summer wreath project. I started off with a rainbow of colored tissue papers, some straight bins and a Styrofoam wreath.

I cut the tissue paper into circles, folded each circle in half twice, and put two of them together to make a small flower.

Then using a straight pin, I pinned it to the wreath.

The end result was fantastic and I'm completely in love with it! Yay!
