For Christmas presents this past year I made wreaths, 14 wreaths. They actually were a lot of fun to make. Each one probably cost around $6-8, but the homemade touch really made them great gifts. I decided while I was snowed in for the second week in a row (I have ventured out) I would make a Valentine wreath. There are many ways to go about decorating a wreath, you could start with a grapevine wreath or a styrofoam one. Then add yarn, felt flowers paper flowers or in my most recent case... felt hearts. So cute and great for birthdays, showers, or Christmas!!! Here are a few I've made and some I get inspired by...

These are great M'lea! Now I'm inspired to do the same. Darn you... :)
ReplyDeleteThey are so easy... I found a tutorial on You Tube that showed how to make the roses... Have fun!!
ReplyDeletei want to ask wether felt is same as fomic sheet? ideas are superb...
ReplyDeleteFrom what I know Fomic is like a blend of felt and paper. It would still work great. I have used pages from books or hymnals, they all turn out beautifully. Thanks for the comment!!
