Deco Mesh Memorial Wreath

This is a memorial wreath I made for my granddaughter who was just too perfect for this old world.

This is made with the standard deco mesh method.  I used full length pink chenille stems (aka pipe cleaners) to attach the mesh to the wreath frame then wrapped the ends around a paint brush handles to make cute little curlie-q's for am added decoration.  The wreath is decorated with baby shower favors tied on with ribbon and beautiful pink butterflies.

 A teddy bear with a pink bow and a white photo frame for a picture of our little angel finishes off the wreath.

Have a blessed day my friends!

Make the Days Count Burlap Wreath

This is a burlap wreath made for a friend for her birthday.  I found this sign and loved it so designed the wreath around it.

The dragonflies are metal wall accents from Hobby Lobby, one of my favorite stores!  I am consistently planning crafts and gifts around what is on sale!!!

I prefer doing my burlap wreaths the same way I do my deco mesh wreaths.

Happy crafting!!!

Burlap Arkansas Razorback Wreath

This is a wreath I made for a friend and co-worker.

It is made in the same manor you would make a deco mesh wreath just using burlap. 

I recently started using zip ties to do wreaths and I LOVE THEM!  So much easier to get a tight fasten point and MUCH EASIER on your hands!  I just tie ribbons around the connect point to hide the zip ties...

The letter is just a wooden letter painted black then with crackle finish, followed with a coat of red (applied quickly, don't overwork it) and finally a few details...a bow to cover the wire to attach it and Razorbacks painted down the side of the letter.
