Project #4

This wreath was so easy to make, it was a little time consuming wrapping the wreath. But I think all my effort was worth it, I love how it turned out. Great for spring time!
All you need is a styrofoam wreath, yarn, felt, ribbon, hot glue gun. The tutorial I got the idea from is
here.
I however did not use two spools of yarn, I bought 2 but I only used half of one spool. I wrapped my wreath twice and it covered the styrofoam perfect, but you can wrap as many times as you want. I used 1 yard of ribbon and 3 sheets of felt. I used a cd, red plastic cup and bowl to cut out my circles of felt for flowers. Some hot glue on the wreath to hold the yarn and hot glue to hold your flowers and hot glue to make a yarn loop to hold your ribbon.

I used two 40% off coupons at Hobby Lobby, the wreath cost me $7 and it looks great on my door!!

Project #3

So I have been making so many of these felt flower accessories, they are so cute and so easy. All you need is felt, scissors, clips and a hot glue gun. The big flowers are from this tutorial. I never made a leather one, but maybe someday I will try. The little flowers are from this tutorial.

I hope you enjoy having fun!!

Perfect Place to Lounge

She lays here dreaming of the day when spring will come and it will be warm enough to go outside and play!!

Project #2

I realized we didn't have very many valentine decorations, so my 2nd sewing project was a banner to hang on our mantel. I followed a pattern in my head and I think it turned out pretty cute! Hobby Lobby had holiday fabric and ribbon for 50% off and the letters are cut out of felt, so it was inexpensive. Way to go me!! :)
Penny helped me cute hearts out of felt and we hung some in doorways and from the ceilings. It adds the perfect touch and we got 18 hearts for $1.50 and they will last longer than paper ones. Super easy and even if you are bad at cutting hearts don't worry felt is great, we didn't mess up on any, they all turned out perfect!
