Here are a few fun cards I made for my sister-in-laws birthday.

I created this blog to showcase my crafts and daily what-nots. How often this blog will be updated is not set, and the posts will be random and sometimes quirky, but that's just me. :)

Snowflake Christmas Wreath
A very simple, inexpensive project! Here is a great present or decoration for your Winter months.
Supplies:
1 roll of white Tulle
1 foam wreath (I used the other half of the Halloween piece from Lowes)
2 boxes of snowflakes form Dollar Tree/store
1 stain-glass paint (if you want to paint your snowflakes like I did)
1 dollar tree roll of ribbon
Simply cut the tulle into pieces a good 16" long. Fold the piece in half and lay on top of wreath. Pull the bottom thru the hole that is made on the top ( a simple loop pull like with your scarf). Do this all the way around. I scrunched them closer as I went to have a tighter circle.
 |
| Same way as making a tu-tu, just wrap around wreath instead |
Once tulle is all around, hot glue on the snow flakes. I sprayed a few with stain-glass paint to add a blue hue. Tie ribbon and your done! Easy!
 |
| Gave this one to my sister :) |
