Spring Wreath

Dollar Tree DIY:

Spring Wreath

Dollar Tree has a great selection of floral items.  Here is the link to help you with ordering what you need to make this project: 

Check out this link for all of your floral needs for this project: https://www.dollartree.com/floral-home-decor/floral-supplies

This is an absolutely gorgeous spring wreath made on a budget of about $12.00 from the Dollar Tree.  By simply, filling in with greenery and smaller buds, you’re able to produce a fuller, more beautiful wreath for your front door or wall decor. 

I add hot glue to the tips of the stems prior to inserting into the wreath. This is optional but I like the extra little security measure. 

Let’s get started…

Supplies:

12” foam wreath

(3) fern greenery

(2) eucalyptus greenery

6-8 floral bunches 

Hot glue gun

Directions:

First, I add the greenery, dipped in hot glue and then pushed into the wreath. 

Second, I add the main flower color as the greenery. 

Third, I add the smaller bunches of floral. And then, I continue until the wreath is as full as I want it to be. 

And voila — look how gorgeous it looks?  Quick, simple and inexpensive…

Happy Crafting…

Ladybug

Ladybug

My mom-in-law has had a problem with ladybugs this past winter so I thought she would get a kick out of receiving this little critter!!!!

I used cotton yarn and a 3.0mm hook and just made him freestyle.  I may go down 1 or 2 hook sizes and make another one.  But, this time write the pattern.  I’d like to make one small enough for a keychain.  

So, for the next little bit, she will be pals with my bumblebee until I take her to her new home….

Happy Crocheting…

Bottle Art

 Bottle Art

I absolutely love how this project turned out. I had an empty wine bottle and just wanted to do something with it. 

First, I painted a white coat of acrylic paint on it with a brush.  Dried.  I then used a round sponge brush and dabbed the blue paint on it  Dried.  Last, I added a clear coat. 

Then, I let the bottle set for about a week until I decided how I wanted to finish it  I finally decided to add some twine at the neck of the bottle; secured by hot glue.  I wanted 3 strands of twine so I could add 3 painted wood pieces.  To finish off, I add 3 flower bouquets from the Dollar Tree.  Simple. Elegant.  Beautiful.

Happy Crafting…

Dollar Tree DIY

Spring/Easter Decor

Materials:

Bunny Wreath Form

Polyfil

Bernat Blanket yarn

1 sheet of Pink foam

1 flower 

Ribbon to make bow

Hot glue

Directions:

First I worked with the circular portion  I laid Polyfil on top and wrapped the yarn around.  I cut the yarn in long pieces, folded it in half and worked it around this way.  Once completed, I repeated a second time  

I did the same thing for each of the ears. 

To complete, I just used my hot glue gun to attach a flower.  I made a simple bow and attached it. For the pink inner ear, I just folded the foam and just free hand cut the shape for the ears and glued it. I wrapped a long strand of yarn around center top and secured with a knit for the hanger. 

And, that’s it!!!!  Cute and easy project.

Happy Crafting…
