Holiday crafting...

On Saturday I went on a much longer than anticipated crafting trip to Michael's with the craft-tactic Ashley Stevenson. I wanted to make the amazing trees that Abbie made but became too overwhelmed with a lack of cuteness inspiration and ridiculous anxiety that mine wouldn't be as darling as abbie's (she's one of my NYC super mom's I wish I could be : ). So instead of being sad at my inadequacies (and after running into Kimberly and her inspirational magazine) I decided to make a felt wreath instead.

I got a wreath form, felt and borrowed Ashley's glue gun. Pretty simple. My kinda craft!


You cut 2-4in strips of felt and warp them around to see if you need to trim length. Lay it around to make sure you have enough. Then you just start gluing!


You then end up with this. I then looked for a poinsettia tutorial to make my cute flower. Just google it and tons comes up. So I traced and cut and found a cute button to sew on and wah-la!


Super cute holiday wreath (that I kinda want to leave out all year. It's that cute right?) holiday crafts are good : )
