I have a thing about the Holidays, I have a hard time really enjoying them anymore. This is due to a bunch of crap that has nothing to do with the slice of awesomeness above. We'll just say they're rough. I do, however, adore wreathes. not the crappy kind made of bells or fake tree, no, I like them to be homespun, a little quirky, and a whole lot of hot glue. I present to you, my new wreath. In future posting I will be smarter in the order that I post these things, for example, I will take pictures of the great bags of crap that I bring home from the store, my burned fingers, and my friend making fun of me in a German accent. For now you get the wreath, in all of it's pretty, classy, and yet crafty glory.
This Key was purchased from Pier One. I'm not usually a huge fan of them, as they're expensive for what you get. They've also lost a great deal of their import charm in recent years. no, Cost Plus World Market (which is right next door) has my import wonderland usually. This time around, however, I was desperate for something that i could not put my finger on. I think the key turned out perfectly.
Those birds are amazing. I think they're possibly the cutest things ever. If you'll notice, the wreath hanger has a piece of ribbon glued to it. this is because it was free, from the friend that mocked me in Deutsche. Alas, it was covered in silly and ugly holly art. I fixed it.
The dangley bits were part of a random piece of trim. She said I could not find a way to use it without the ugliness of a short piece of trim oozing onto the wreath. I win. Everything but the key was purchased at Michael's Crafts. Total this was about a $25 dollar project. ($50, but there were two wreathes and a scrap project as well.)
This would be the scrap Project. I just had a ton of glittery leaves laying around and some fruit. I also had a left over tassel from a previous project. It turned out well. I now how a little bit of holiday cheer that i didn't have before, and a successful stitch and bitch completed.
