Valentine's Wreath

Happy February everyone!

I can't believe it's already February. Time really does go by quickly. This week I've been busy organizing my mantle and making more wreaths! I think I'm a little obsessed with wreaths. :o)

So this wreath idea came from here.

It was so easy. I bought 1/2 yard of red felt and a heart shaped foam wreath and then just cut out about 100 circles. You then just fold the circles twice and pin them to the wreath.

 

I wanted to put it on the outside of our front door, but since it's supposed to snow this weekend and it's been windy, I just put it on the inside. And, you know what? It makes me smile when I look up at it.

After 3 back and forth trips from Hobby Lobby to Michaels and back again (and again) I should be able to start one final wreath tonight. I'm so indecisive that I kept driving back and forth trying to figure out what I wanted to buy! It's not going to be a Valentine's wreath, but one that I hope to hang on top of my mantle.

On a Stella update, tonight is her very first puppy training class! I'm so excited and I hope she does well. It's kind of a bummer to be the owner of the dog that's the loser in the class. Haha! So I'll hopefully update tomorrow and let you all know how she did.

Valentine's Wreath

While Stella slept at my feet, I was finally able to complete one of the crafts I've been wanting to finish.

Jen at Tatertots and Jello is amazing and I'm so glad I read her blog. She gives a tutorial on how to complete this wreath Here.

I started with an 8 inch foam wreath that I got at Dollar Tree and Valentine's Day cupcake liners that I got at Hobby Lobby. I bought 2 packs (a total of 100) because I wasn't really sure how many I would need.



Then you just bunch them up and hot glue them around. Easy Peasy!

Here's my finished wreath.




I think it's so adorable and I love how easy and cheap it was. You gotta love that Dollar Tree.

I've also been trying to figure out a new way to decorate my mantle, so I'll post pictures this week on the before and after. I did buy a couple more items at Dollar Tree to help me fix it up and I'm almost done with that so pictures to come soon.
