My favorite craft

I can finally reveal some of the crafting I did for Christmas gifts, now that everyone has received their gifts! I made year-round wreaths for my sister and Phillip's sister. I got the idea from Pinterest, and I LOVED it. If you know me (or if you read this blog), you know I LOVE handmade gifts. I love to give them and receive them.

Here are the materials and the process of making the wreath.

Materials:

Burlap: 1 yard

Hot Glue and Glue Gun

Metal House Numbers (Home Depot or Lowe's)

Faux flowers (Michaels)

Decorative Ribbon

Process:

Step 1: Buy a plain wooden wreath form (Michael's, $3).

Step 2: Wrap (while hot gluing) burlap fabric to the wreath form (Burlap, $3/yard).

Step 3: Cut out initials on cardboard.

Step 4: Cover cardboard initials with faux moss ($6 per package-one package will make multiple wreaths-probably four wreaths) using hot glue.

Step 5: Glue on faux flowers and house numbers ($6 per faux flower at Michaels for the Hydrangeas). Many of the house numbers come with a built-in adhesive as well, so you might not need to use glue.

Step 6: Attach ribbon for hanging (either with tacking or hot-glue).

And the final product...
