Craft projects..


I made this cute wreath for Valentine's day. I just bought a round metal wreath base and bent it into a heart shape (couldn't find a heart one anywhere but that would obviously be easier) and then covered it with batting and then a layer of cotton fabric. I then covered it with a bunch of felt flowers that I made. All you do is take a standard piece of felt (they come in 81/2 X 11 size) fold it in half and cut it and then cut both of those pieces in half. So you wind up with 4 pieces the same size. I rounded the edges off and then fold the piece in half long ways and then sort of roll it up to look like a rose and then hot glued them into place. Fun project (i love using hot glue for some reason) and it looks cute on the front porch.




This super easy bag was made yesterday, seriously it took like 30 minutes to make. Here is the link to the directions I followed.. really fun and simple.
