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 … [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...]

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...]
