So one day, I came across a blogger that makes wreaths. Super cute wreaths. Since sometimes I get a wild hair to be crafty, I wanted to make a wreath to support my most favoritist team ever...the UK Wildcats. If there is a UK game on, I'm watching it and I love all things UK.
So I headed to Hobby Lobby one Saturday and bought a grapevine wreath, two spools of wired ribbon and some letters and paint.
Gots to the house, painted my lettes, and tried making a big poofy bow. Then I failed. The ribbon just wasn't big enough and wire wasn't strong enough to make the bow I needed. So later that week, I went to Walmart where I bought some more ribbon and tried making another bow. I failed. The bow just wasn't big enough and looked blah.
So I made my weekly trip to Hobby Lobby again, and finally decided on some deco mesh to make the bow. It was perfect! Score!!!!
I stuck with one color for the bows, and it clashed with one set of letters, so I painted the letters all the same color, super glued them onto the wreath. This resulted in a minor burn on the tip of my finger which went numb. I couldn't use it for a few hours, but all is well now.
After I finished the product, I of course, uploaded it to facebook. I'm please with the amount of "likes" it received.....that's sure to make my little crafty self feel good about my little project. It's not like the wreath that I used for inspiration, but I think it will do.
