Woohoo!! I have completed the major part of my work for 2012. Holy moly. What a crazy year it was. Anyway, my poor children have had to endure the majority of this Christmas season without their mother to do fun holiday activities with them, without a house filled with Christmas decor and cheer, and a present-less Christmas tree! We fixed that though. I’ve started decorating, shopping, wrapping presents and planning this last week’s Christmas activities. :)))
If you know me, you know I’m not a traditionalist. So, naturally, I didn’t want traditional Christmas wreaths. I found this idea on { the ultimate evil } Pinterest. Here’s what you need:
- green foamy rings (found in the greenery section at your local craft store)
- yarn…and lots of it. I wound up using 4 bundles of yarn for my 3 wreaths. Choose your colors. The sky is the limit on this project!
- felt and a hot glue gun for the felt flowers and yarn pom-poms.
I did one large and 2 small. Be prepared to spend a good 6 hours on this project! It was much more time-consuming that I thought it would be. The trick is to wrap your yarn around the rings without overlapping the yarn too much. Otherwise, it just looks messy and uneven. I also begun using these wreaths as Christmas card holders! Fun!
We bought new Christmas stockings too. I wanted something a little less flashy and a little more basic for our mantle decor, this year.
I’ll have more pictures of our holiday fun to come. We have so much blogging to do, it’s unreal. This week, though, I’ll have my face out of the computer and my mind on making this Christmas fun and special for my family! Have a wonderful week-before-Christmas!
