The Making of a Wreath

 I don't often try to be creative but there is that random couple times a year where I try to 'make' something. Today it was a wreath. My sister came to visit and I had been compiling the wreath components for a while and it seemed like the perfect day to bring them out and try to create. It was fun. The children were all involved and my sister helped immensely. I love the finished product ~  it is me to a T. It is not trendy it doesn't really go together all that well but from my perspective it all works. It was so fun to do this.

                                   I bought the wreathe form and moss from Walmart.

This is the top of some very tall grass that grew in my yard this year that we just cut down and the little bow came tied on a jar.

My friend's daughter is starting a felting business so I asked her to please felt me some acorns and mushrooms. She did a perfect job.

                               The pine cones were given to me today by a sweet friend ~ perfect timing.

 

                                These are the mushrooms she felted. They are the sweetest!!!!

 My seven year old made a nature display during the wreathing process. I kept having to take things off the plate for the wreath and she was not impressed.
