Hello and yes the March wreath is late. Sorry. Well actually I made 3 wreaths this month. It all started with a new die from sizzix which I absolutely love. The bundle of flowers die from sizzix is a bigz die and costs about £20 . I can get 4 flowers out of it without thinking but im actually sure I could probably make a lot more but I am not an expert in flowers so that needs a little research. Now the great thing about sizzix bigz dies is they cut fabric and felt so easily but before I experimented with felt I wanted to have a go with some paper and card so I was sure I was making my flowers correct. I selected a range of greens and pinks and just basically made up lots of flowers. Then taking a paper plate I cut the middle out and hot glued a small piece a lace to allow me to hang the wreath to the paper plate and then stuck the flowers in place. I did find a few gaps so I cut some extra leaves out to fill in the gaps. The flowers are lovely themselves but I think it's the colours that make this really lovely. Once I was confident that I could make the flowers I then made some in felt. which, in turn inspired me to make this beautiful crochet wreath. When I realised I had some wool that matched the felt flower it just seamed perfect to make a crochet wreath. I loved making this one so much I decided I would make the odd one to sell in the local craft shop I sell my hair clips. But the wreath bug struck again and before I knew it I had made another one!. I have an order for one which is nearly finished and I'm working on a slightly smaller version too.
I had planned to make an Easter themed wreath I am actually disappointed that I didn't but I may look out for some reduced craft supplies ready for next year who knows. My job has kept me really busy and I just don't have the time to craft as much as I'd like, well apart from the items I make to sale. This week my work load is looking big but I do have a few projects that I really want to try including mastering the art of getting vinyl to stay on clothes!. Take care everyone I hope you have a lovely week.
