This week I did a fairly easy project. I made a winter wreath for my front door.
You can find wreaths all over pinterest. I wanted to make one for the door since I took my christmas wreath down. And, since we have an abundance of pool noodles (like 25!) I figured this would be a good project!
Here's what I made!
Everything I already had right in my house!
Pool Noodle to form the wreath.
Knitting yarn to wrap it with.
Lace to add dimension and pizazz!
Ric rac which was messily rolled into a ball and stuck with a long straight pin with a pearl on the end.
Flowery trim also messily rolled and stuck with straight pin.
Not shown is the hanger which I just cut from some ribbon and pinned into the back.
I wish I could have done bigger bling on it but I really didn't want to spend any money on this project! (maybe for a summer wreath I will)
Hope you enjoy! I had great fun figuring out how to add things when I had so little stuff to work with!
Update :: What I learned -- to make a flower out of something I had never seen made into a flower! I came up with this idea pure and simple. I have never seen a flower out of ric rac before (although it has probably been done before)!
