I started crafting....ahhhhh!

I always think wreaths for doors sold in the stores are so expensive for fake flowers. It is also hard to find anything more modern and different. I had seen a post on another blog about making yarn wreaths. So I decided on my week off I would attempt to make one. It must be all of those years spent watching my mom craft wearing off on me! I must say it turned out pretty darn good!

























I bought a foam wreath form, although I would recommend a straw wreath but keeping the plastic wrap on it before wrapping. The foam occasionally made a small mess. Simply wrapped yarn around the form, which did take awhile. I used some sticks from outside
 and wrapped them in a gray yarn. I then made flowers out of some gray felt by cutting a circle out of the felt and the cutting the circle into a continuous long strip, gathering it up and then using a hot glue gun to put everything on the wreath. All in all brand new, unique wreath for less than $20!
