Do you ever have crafty days? Sometimes I wake up in the morning, and I just really want to make something - a new recipe, a craft for the house, a painting. I'm not sure what to make, but I know I'm going to have to use up some creative energy before I fall asleep that night. Thank goodness for Pinterest! It gave me the BEST idea yesterday!
For the last month I've been thinking, "I really need a new wreath for the door." I put up an adorable sign with snowmen and our names on it in January. Clearly, it's not winter anymore. I found a pin and then the blogpost featuring this wreath. It was incredibly easy to make! Here's what I did:
Materials:
7 sheets of felt (I used 2 light blue, 2 ivory, 2 pirate green, 1 navy)
Styrofoam wreath form
Ball point pins
Ribbon
1. Trace the ribbon spool onto the felt. Cut out circles.
2. Fold each circle in half. Then fold it again, so it looks like a pie piece.
3. Put a pin through the point of the triangle, and then shove the pin into the styrofoam. Pull the felt piece apart a little bit so it looks like a flower.
4. After you've attached as many felt pie pieces as you can, pin a piece of ribbon to the back of your wreath to use as a hanger.
5. Voila! Fluffy Felt Wreath!

Very cute, Nancy!! I have been feeling like that, too, lately...like I want to make something, rearrange the furniture, buy new/old nightstands, just something to change things up a bit! I'd enjoy having a cross "wreath" like your mom's. I might look on pininterest. Love you, Aunt Sally
