Dec 10 project & pick :: wreaths + time
Wreath making will bring out your inner craftiness and is today's Project. Wreath making is great fun, the ideas limitless. Evergreen wreaths are perhaps the first sort you think about, but be sure to take a look at the inspiration i have linked to below. Paper? Gumdrops? Oragami? Old books?
I'm rolling with an aqua & red color scheme for Christmas this year (remind you of the gifts + ideas page?) and thought it'd be fun to make sparkly aqua "wreaths" for all the (inside) doors in our home.
I made the aqua wreath (shown above) in all of 8 minutes using supplies I already had. You will need: cardboard or chipboard (something sturdy), glitter, glue and thread to hang (and any additional decorative pieces ... i used a silver dot sticker garland).
Using a bowl or plate, trace a circle on the chipboard. I then added a star-ish points. Cut out the shape, cutting out the inside of the circle as well. Hole punch a hole at top. Using white glue, cover the front of the wreath then cover in glitter. Let dry + hang!
Inspiration? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
Today's Pick will keep time.. for yourself. I am loving Decoylab's new bamboo clocks. My 2 favorites? The Squirrel and Birds & Branches.
