Yesterday leading up to today has been a bit rough for me. I felt fine until last night at work when I got my leg ran over by our 50 lb pricing cart while pushing it to the back. After that, my leg developed a welt and it hurt like a mother walking around on it. I came home and ate and then went to bed. Around 5 am I woke up with extreme stomach pains and felt really dehydrated. I decided to stay home from work and get better.
So in the spirit of doing something productive, I decided to make a fall wreath. I have been wanting to make one since we moved in the house, but I had yet to get any projects started. I barely have my sewing machine unpacked and all of my craft supplies are still in the boxes sitting in the closet.
I took a trip to Hobby Lobby once my leg pain wore down a bit and bought the following items:
A $4.99 wooded wreath
(Going back a second time because I forgot) Floral Wire and Wire cutters...although I am more of a
fan of the glue gun to keep things intact. I went 50/50 with this project.
Two individual floral arrangements (these could be bought at the dollar store!! I encourage you to look there first because I bought both of mine at Hobby Lobby and when I stopped by the dollar store, they had the exact same flowers for a dollar a piece.)
I had a V (for my boyfriends and my..future..last name) that I purchased at Babies R Us when I worked there.
Grab some command strips from the store as well unless you want to buy a wreath holder

I decided to put together a wreath for the first time and I don't think I did too awful bad for not knowing what I was doing. If I had to do over, I probably would have just spent the money and bought a pre made one lol because it wasn't quite as relaxing as I thought it'd be. But in the spirit of trying new things, it wasn't so bad! I had to move one of the pieces on top because it went up too far. Hope you enjoy!!!
Give some tips and share some photos of your designs!
With much love,
Tash
