Picture Frame Turned Wreath

  What a beautiful Sunday. It's been a sunny 70 degree day. The perfect kinda day for a walk with my parents, which I enjoyed so very much :o)
  I don't know why, but I've been feeling especially crafty this weekend. Maybe it's because I've been so slack and uncreative the past couple of weeks. I wanted to make some more earrings today, but I need to visit the crafts store first so I decided today was a good wreath day.


  I went to the dollar store yeterday in hopes of getting some foam and whicker wreaths. They had none. I've had this oval picture frame I got at Goodwill (it came with a terribly ugly picture in it) for way too long and I figured it would make a pretty little wreath.

   Thank goodness I stocked up on yearn yesterday. Wrapping yarn wreaths always tries my patience. 

   All finished. I made a felt rose as well as a layered flower out of some scrapbook paper I got on clearance. 

   I like how it turned out. It's springy and very girly. I like very girly. Perhaps I'll try to sell it...or just add it to my collection :o)

  1. Very cute!! I went to the dollar store today as well, I wanted to buy stuff to make a cute easter wreath. (Confession: my valentine's wreath is still on our door... :0/ ) Anywho, like wise, they didn't have what I was looking for. I walked out with a wind chime and easter candy. lol.

    dana, dollar tree's been a bit disappointing lately. I guess you'll have to just keep your valentine's wreath up :o)
