V-day Wreath

I had no idea I loved Valentine’s day so much! Actually, I’m not so certain I do…but I love the crafts for it! Why? Well because I can make a heart…and that’s about all you need!!
So I gave a wreath a try!
Grandma gave me an old one that she didn’t want. So I took it apart (it used to have fake flowers all over it) After she saw that I took it apart, she just said “Oh, you took the flowers off!” Whoops, maybe her idea of crafts and mine are a little different.
So I’ve never made a wreath, but I tried wrapping it up in some red fabric.Which I hated.
Then a fellow blogger suggested I use some t-shirt yarn to make a wreath. Great idea! So I snazed it up a little.
I thought I would try making some pom poms for it...but hates that as well

Basic Pom Pom instructions- grab two pieces of cardboard, lay a string in the middle. Then wrap the string/yarn/ribbon around the carboard a bunch!Cut one side of the string wrap, and use the string the middle to tie it all together!





Since that was a bust...now comes the best part. I knew this thing was going in the trash on February 15th (I don’t have a house…where am I supposed to keep decorations??) So I didn’t want to waste materials, or spend money on it. So, I decide to add all my hair clips, and tshirt pins, and anything I’ve made lately to it!

That way, I can take it all apart (and unwrap the tshirt yarn) and reuse it all over again for something new!

I loved that you used stuff from your stash, and that you can reuse when you're done! Great Job on the wreath! Visiting from Tatertots & Jello
