Thank you for stopping by on our Artisan Blog Hop! Isn't Erica's work amazing!!!
Good Morning to you! Well, we are officially done football now for a whole 2 weeks before Mark begins his fall football! I am grateful my kids have found things they enjoy and are passionate about, just hard to believe we start it all over again here shortly!
Today's project was fun to put together, but boy oh boy it sure took a TON of fabric. I started off thinking it would take about a package, maybe two...well, I put the pieces of fabric too close together I think as it took FIVE packages!
I used a styrofoam wreath frame and cute 3 inch circles out of my fabric. I folded the circles in half, then in half again. Then I shoved a tool (I used an allen key) in the middle of the circle, put a blob of hot glue on the end and shoved it in the wreath. Repeat this about 400 times and voila, you have a sweet little wreath!
The flowers were made from burplap and a variety of circles. I used the Pool Party fabric in the middles, then just did a running stitch to get the flowers to "pucker" a little bit. The white flowers are those from the last catalogue and I then just used the antique brads in the middle. I'm happy with the outcome...hope you are too! Have a wonderful start to your week!
Take care,
Heather

How big is the styrofoam wreath structure? Really cute! I'm going to try this one.
