Spring Wreath

Now I know its almost Summer now, but I did this project about a month ago so it was more appropriate at the time. And it still looks cute for summer :)

 I'm sure there are tons of tutorials on these flowers but I posted how I did mine for this one. This is the first time I've done this sort of flower. I really like how they turned out.

St. Patties Wreath re-vamp

Remember my Valentines day wreath? I was pretty sad to take it down..

but I do love my new one a whole lot too.

All I did was pull out the heart picks, cut the yarn off, stick my new shamrock picks in, and wrap some green yarn. Easy right??

 They didn't have any shamrock picks at the Dollar Tree so I got these shamrock foam-ies and taped them to chopsticks.

There's no glue so it can be easily changed out for Easter!

 I hung this little sign (also from the DT) to my wreath hook

All for only $3. Pretty awesome. 

Ps... Did you vote?? Please go vote for my place-mat purse!

Valentines day Wreath- IN 5 MINUTES!

Origninally I wanted to make a wreath like on of these that I found on Simply Designing. I went to 3 Dollar trees and Jo-Annes to find a wreath base that was solid like that.. like a Styrofoam type... (what am I trying to say here??)

 Anyway, At Jo-Annes they had these styrofoam wreaths but they were too small. I wanted a bigger one. Then I saw this "grape vine" wreath. I loved how rustic it looked and I thought it would be a nice contrast with the sparkly heart picks I had already bought and the yard I already had. Plus, it was only $3. Way better than the smaller $8 styrofoam wreath.

 The heart picks I bought from the dollar tree (2 packs but I didn't use them all) The yarn was on hand and the wreath from Jo-annes. Total $5 (cheaper if I had a 40% off coupon)

 I started by just placing the picks into the vines. Pretty simple.

 I trimmed off any ends of the picks that stuck out. Then took yarn a few feet at a time and tied and wrapped it around the wreath.

 TA-DA! I love it! I think its simple and cute.

 It doesn't have any glue in it so when valentines day is over I can change it out for the different seasons. Its super cute and it seriously only took me 5 minutes and $5. Totally worth it
