I pinned this little gem a few weeks ago and thought it was the perfect solution to my poor pitiful wreath. Let me back up, about a month ago I attempted a craft night. Instead, I had a great evening catching up with a friend and all I managed to do was wrap a straw wreath in burlap. Now you're up to speed on my naked wreath.
Back to business! My new favorite blog, Craftaholic's, gives a great description on how to make very simple flowers from felt, buttons, clips, and glue. See for yourself!
Here's what I used:
- 1 naked burlap wreath
- felt
- buttons
- clips (I'm sure there is a more scientific name for them)
- hot glue
Originally, I wanted to make my very own St. Patty's Day wreath but as usual I ran into a few obstacles. This time the obstacle was the color green. Yes, that green button is shining visibly in the picture above - but did I notice that last night? Of course not. I was extremely convinced that I did not own any green buttons or fabric of any kind.
Naturally, I moved onto Plan B. What colors are never out of season? Black and gold, baby!
Does anyone watch "The New Girl"? This week's episode was precious and about a situation in Jess' classroom. Check it out!
Jordon- I just love your blog and had to drop you a little note. You have grown up to be such a creative and positive person-I'm so proud of you!!! I knew you were a great kid when I had you in fifth grade and now I am certain you are an awesome teacher. Your facebook post about the snake had me laughing til I cried! But you did learn a valuable lesson that you will remember throughout your teaching career- no pets at school!! LOL! (just kidding- we do a pet day at our school).You keep being you girl-it's workin' for ya'! ~ Sheri Kemp (A.K.A. Mrs. Kemp your ole 5th grade teacher!)
