Ruffled Burlap Easter Wreath tutorial

March 23, 2010 By 48 Comments

I finally made an Easter project. I don't know what my problem has been lately. I didn't make anything for St. Patrick's Day, but I've finally got my Easter groove on. I also got my Easter boxes out today and decorated - yay! This was a really quick and easy wreath to make. I think the total time was around 1 hour -- including decoupaging the eggs (but not drying time). If you want to make one, … [Read more...]

Freecycle Project: Spring Kitchen {spoon} Wreath

March 17, 2010 By 65 Comments

I love freecycle! I have listed a bunch of things and people come and take it -- I love to think my stuff I don't need anymore is going to someone who needs it (I hope anyway).  I have put in requests a few times for things that I could use for projects. A few weeks ago I was imagining all sorts of projects using silverware. So I put a request on Freecycle for mismatched silverware. And the … [Read more...]

Hello everyone at Tatertots and Jello! I am super excited to be guest blogging for Jen today! In fact, when I first found out that I would be doing this, I called my husband to tell him the news, and when he asked what I wanted to do to celebrate, I exclaimed, “Go to Hobby Lobby!!” I was being serious. But anyway, this post isn’t about my dorkiness so I’ll move on. I am Erin from … [Read more...]

Whimsical Valentine Wreath

January 12, 2010 By 33 Comments

I was reading Martha Stewart last month (I think) and they had these giant Christmas balls made out of cupcake liners. And I thought to myself - maybe I could use cupcake liners to make a wreath for Valentine's Day... I love the texture of the liners. After a little trial and error, this is what I came up with.I found some cupcake liners at Hobby Lobby. I really wanted polka dot ones but couldn't … [Read more...]

2010 Burlap Wreath and a giveaway

January 4, 2010 By 34 Comments

I retired the marshmallow wreath. It was a great wreath, but not one to keep for next year. I noticed a strange fact -- although I live in a desert, the marshmallows never dried out. They were still squishy when I took the wreath apart -- weird. On the plus side, the birds and other animals never ate any of it :) I wanted to make a wreath to welcome in the new year and decade. And I had a lot … [Read more...]

Whimsical Christmas Wreath

December 1, 2009 By 2 Comments

So I had all of these big, eleaborate plans to make a burlap/paper wreath. It was going to take hours and hours of fine craftsmanship to make. Well, life got in the way, and instead the kids and I made a whimsical, funny wreath instead. And with a blog called tatertots &; jello -- I think it fits in perfectly! **Put a dab of Gorilla Glue on each Marshmallow before you put the toothpick … [Read more...]

DIY Day: Remake an old wreath into a Spooky wreath

October 6, 2009 By Leave a Comment

  It's DIY Day over at Kimba's A Soft Place to Land. I thought I would join the party! I have had this wreath for about 15 years. Don't ask me why I keep dragging it around with me every time we move. Since I didn't have a Halloween wreath, I thought why not try to turn this old wreath into a new one?    Here's what it looked like before - pretty sad, huh? Here's what I did to … [Read more...]

Creative Fridays: Fall wreath re-do

September 18, 2009 By 1 Comment

 I was thinking of some ways to spruce up my old Fall wreath. I looked around for a new one, but couldn't find anything that I liked. So I took my old wreath and decoupaged a star to use in the middle. It still needed something else. I wanted to sew some fabric leaves and add them to the wreath, but since I don't have a machine that works, the next best thing were scissors and my trusty glue … [Read more...]
