New Deco

I FINALLY got this wreath done over Christmas Break! It took me forever to get started, and then, it ended up being way more time consuming than I thought it would! I got the idea from a blog I read..( BIG suprise!...I read WAY to many of those!)



Hers looked a bit different from mine, with smaller ruffles, but I kind of liked the bigger ones, so I left them and decided not to trim them. I used some old burlap feed sacks that belonged to my Grandparents to make this..my Dad saved them for me, and I stuck them in the attic, not sure what I was going to do with them! They came in handy! Apparently, though, you can buy burlap by the bolt at Joann's...didn't know that!


I used some bias tape trim from my stash to go around the raw edges of the burlap, then made these little felt flowers to add to it. I like how they turned out!

Maybe next time, I might try making one that uses the print side of the feed sacks...IF there is a next time!
