Grass Wreath Tutorial

Hello? Anyone still out there?

Honestly, I can’t believe I still have followers. I’ve been such a slacker on this blog. Since the girls were born I haven’t had much time to be creative. If you read my last post, you saw that I’ve been pinning a bunch of stuff that I’d like to do but just haven’t had the time.

I did, however, make a spring/Easter wreath that was Pinspired by THIS pin.
Spring-Wreath

Materials I bought:
Styrofoam wreath
Lime green “fur” (found in the yarn section)
Colored straight pins

Materials I already had:
Prima paper flowers
Embroidery floss (twine would also be very cute!)
Welcome feet printable banner (You can get this HERE)

To assemble:

  • Wrap fur around wreath until it is completely covered. You may have to go around twice to fill in gaps
  • Place flowers randomly around wreath and attach with colored straight pins
  • Cut out flags for banner, run them through a sticker maker and attach to floss or twine (you can also use glue).
  • Position banner across wreath and attach to wreath by tying them onto pins behind flowers (I think I might had tied a double not in the floss and then just stuck the pin through the knot).
  • Attach colorful ribbon for hanging.

I’m not very good with instructions…I often just make things up as I go, so if you have any questions, feel free to email me.

Happy Crafting!

{A Mini Tutorial}

Hi! Have you been to the shop to see all the Halloween goodies that have been added? What do you think? Got any ideas on how you can use them?

Well, have no fear, Diana is here…..to give us a little tutorial for this super cute mini album!

Diana Halloween Mini

Diana had a great idea and combined the Little Monster embellishments with the Fright Night embellishments! She used the Fright Night Halloween Cut-Outs, Little Monster Journaling Strips, Little Monster Journaling Cards, Wood Grain Tags-Halloween Colors, and the Little Monster Embellishment Tags.

Below are the step by step instructions.

Step 1: Fold a 12x12 piece of scrapbook paper or card stock in half. Glue together for a more sturdy book, or use double-sided paper and leave unglued for more pages to decorate.

Step 2: Cut into thirds.

Step 3: Punch two holes in the top of each sheet.

Step 4: Decorate pages and thread ribbon through the holes.

Step 5: Hang and enjoy!

And for those of you who need visuals, you can download the PDF, HERE.

This is super cute Diana! I think I may just have to make one of these for myself!

If you decide to try your hand at one of these, send me a pic and I may just feature it here on the blog! [Extra points if you use {embellish*ology} products. ;)  ]

XOXO,
Signature
