Valentines Wreath

I know it's a day late, but you can use this wreath heart even if it's not V day.  Very easy, but pretty time consuming to complete.

I can't take credit for this craft, as an awesome friend in my neighborhood actually made one first & got the supplies for a bunch of us that do craft day together.  But I thought I would share with all of you, because it is such a cute idea.

buy an inexpensive foam wreath heart

Red felt.  trace circles & cut them out (this part takes quite a while.  and you need A LOT of circles to fill up your wreath!)

Fold your circle in half

Fold in half again and put a pin in it.

Heres a short video tutorial on how to fold your circle.

Pin it on your wreath & Repeat with each felt circle.



back of the wreath.  You don't have to put the felt circles on the back, because no one will see it & it will sit flush with your door/wall if you keep it blank.  Add a ribbon to hang your wreath.

Finished product.

I LOVE it!  

Hope everyone had a great valentines day!!!

O' Christmas Tree


A Christmas tree is so magical!
It is amazing how a plain tree can turn into something so beautiful!
All trees look different and unique.
Some display homemade ornaments and childrens projects.
Some display collections of a specific kind!

I wish I could just walk into peoples home and get inspired by all the different trees!
I am a big believer in adding to your tree every year. Swapping what you didn't like out and changing it overtime.

Last year I made these pieces out of scrap wood, paint, and vinyl.



I love them!

This year I took away more of the "rustic" ornaments. I still have some but am trying to go more elegant. I think by next year it may be closer to perfection.
But I do love how it turned out this year!

I added more gold glittery ornaments!




And all lit up.....




What do you put on your tree?
