How about some flowers that don't wither or die? I made this wreath yesterday in no time at all. I didn't even make a trip to the fabric or craft store. I just used scraps of fabric, burlap and felt that I had around the house. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
I mentioned on facebook last week that I wanted to host a crafting/DIY workshop. The idea is that I would have all or most of the supplies ready, and you could just come and make something fun, cute, or useful. Maybe I can help teach you a new skill or technique. So, how about we make this Spring Wreath. In an hour or so, depends on how much chatting and eating we do, you could leave with a cute wreath like this one (or in any color or season you wish).
So, if you live locally (Bakersfield, CA), are you interested? Is this something you would like to make? Leave me a comment. I want you input. Would a Saturday morning be good, or would you prefer an weekday evening? I want to host this first event this coming week. So tell your friends and "Like" my facebook page to find out the time and day.
And if you don't live near by, don't worry, I'll post instructions after the diy workshop on the blog.

ReplyDeleteCount me in - the wreath is gorgeous Jeran and maybe we could all bring a plate of food? Just a thought. I'll ask my neighbor if she wants to come, she is very crafty.
ReplyDeleteDang it - the above post is from Emma.
ReplyDeleteSounds fun! I'm not local, but look forward to the instructions after you have your workshop!
ReplyDeletebeautiful wreath!.
ReplyDeletephotos are much better. cause you can easily enough go through each step carefully with a photo to reference and detailed description to follow.
Youtube vid on how to yarn-wrap a wreath and make cloth roses would be great! Pics would work too.

I love, love, LOVE the color combinations in this wreath. I finished my first yarn wrapped wreath from a tutorial in Better Homes and Gardens and have been looking for other inspirations ever since. I am new to blogging, so I don't know all of the etiquette... but I linked you to my new blog at http://www.quippymyflippygetsdomestic.blogspot.ca/?m=1).
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous and and the video is awesome! I actually just included it on a spring wreath roundup on my blog. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteYay, glad you like it. And thanks for sharing my wreath.
