Time to get crafty! I feel like I work on a project every single day, but rarely do I share them with you guys. So it's your lucky day!! Are you excited?
I whipped up this simple wreath today. This is my favorite kind of crafting- only a few supplies needed, plus a warm drink, snack of your choice and a sofa to sit on while you watch re-runs of the Real Housewives of Whatever. Totally my kind of afternoon.
Here's what you need. Straw wreath form (leave the plastic on), white felt, scissors and a million push pins.
Start by cutting out a TON of felt leaves. I think in all, I had a little over 100 leaves. Then just start pinning the leaves onto your wreath form. Just overlap your leaves in a pretty way. Easy peasy. I did go back at the end and pin down the leaves in random places, to keep everything from shifting around.
TA-DA!
Isn't it festive? Or actually- just really simple and a little modern? I can't decide. But I do love it! It's simple and sleek enough that I want to keep it up all year long, not just during Christmas. So I thought for now I should add a few little metallic berries to Christmas it up:
So what do you think??
Ps, I'm just now noticing that the lights on the top portion of our pre-lit tree have gone out. Lovely.
Linking up!
That looks so awesome!! It is modern, but traditional at the same time. Love it!! Very Pottery Barn!

ReplyDeleteThat looks awesome! I'm getting ready to (finally) transition my fall wreath to winter...this may be how I do it! (P.S. I came over from the Nester Christmas Crafts linky)
ReplyDeleteVery cute!! I want to try this for my front door now, but may try and use red and white felt instead of just white felt. Now I am in crafty mood to try this after work today! :) Thanks for the great idea!
