That little wreath in my stocking tree photos. Well, Rachel asked about it. And when Rachel asks, I answer. ;)
To be honest, the wreath didn’t turn out quite like I’d hoped… and that’s why I haven’t said anything about it. I think maybe it would look better in my bedroom. Or a child’s room.
It was very simple, actually. I bought a frame at the thrift store. Painted it green. Then I bought some white felt with glitter on one side of it and a white foam wreath from the craft store. I cut the felt into strips, cut “fringe” along the strips, and curled them with a curling iron (which, believe it or not, took like no time at all!). Then I simply wrapped the strips around the wreath.
For the “bow,” I used vintage quilt piecings, scrunched them together, secured it with a twisty-tie, and then used a thin strip of felt to connect the bow to the wreath and the frame. I was just going to leave it like that, but then I decided I would utilize the left over pom poms from my chandelier. So, literally, I just stuck it on the front. I didn’t use any adhesive. And it’s still just sitting there, not even threatening to fall loose! haha I love little things like that- it’s a gift to an indecisive person like myself. No adhesive= easy to change.
Oh and P.S.
I had a fashion show at lunch today. Sneaks into the newest Half Caf additions tomorrow! Meanwhile, everything in the shop is 40% off.
Yay! Fashion show, fashion show, fashion show at lunch! :D
And I think the wreath looks great…I had no idea you could curl felt.
you are way too cool.
it’s true.
Hi!
I just discovered your blog via cafe mom and rachel denbow. Anyhow, I love it to pieces! Your super crafty. :)
I am totally in love with the wreath, and am dying to make my own.
Dang. She looks just like this girl from ceramics class. And we can hangout whenever you’d like :) But I don’t know, you’re kinda famous now. I was flipping through my CK magazine and BAM there’s you and hubby. We might need body guards or something.
Adorable and very creative! Love this idea… I’m huge on handcrafing Christmas.
This is a great wreath! I love crafty projects, makes the season less commercial!
If only this worked with my son!
Thanks for the details on this wreath. I didn’t know you could curl felt with a curling iron! Or that pom pom puff balls would stick and stay so compliantly.
Your dresses are causing me to drool onto my laptop. I’m wiping up the mess as I type.
you’re so crafty! you’ve got skills, girl.
