OK, really, sometimes I forget how very much I love, Love, LOVE being crafty!! I think it fills me with more energy than an afternoon nap ever could! Maybe that's why I am totally willing to sacrifice sleep in exchange for craft time :) I just love making something new and having it turn out right the first time--how fun is that!?! So last night a couple wonderful friends came on over with felt in hand and we cut like a zillion little 4 inch circles to make this super cute wreath!! I'd say it took about 4 hours but for 3 of that we were chatting and eating caramel corn so alone maybe it'd be 2.5-3 hours. I also ended up moving around quiet a few circles while I was doing the second half to make the first half less crowded. I used about 1.25 yards of felt I'd say. I orginally saw this project here http://www.theidearoom.net/2010/01/felt-heart-wreath.html and on here http://eighteen25.blogspot.com/search/label/valentines%20day. My hearts were bigger so that's why I used so much more fabric but I absolutely LOVE how it turned out. Now I just need to find the time to make one for each of my kids doors--they ALL want their own!
That is so funny....I had to move some of my peices too......so it didn't look so crowded. I just couldn't keep my hands off the corn! :) So much fun! Thanks for getting the stuff friend! I will have to paint my door black now :)
ReplyDeleteHA!! I don't know why I didn't see that you said you needed to paint your door! You are too funny--I do love how it looks against my door. That's probably one of the reasons I wanted to do this project is I thought it would look nice. Have you finished yours? I hope so :) I just got my vinyl all put together and I am soooo happy with it--except the one I did TOTALLY crooked :/ that one doesn't look too good!
