Feelin' Crafty


I must admit that I'm pretty proud of the way this turned out. When I first cut these leaves out, I knew I wanted to make a wreath of them, but hadn't had a chance to do so until now. I used four packages of chipboard leaves and painted them different colors of metallic paint. My two year old helped out and loved every minute of it! Once they were dry, I hot glued them to a circle I cut from scrap chipboard. A couple of the leaves were adhered with pop dots for a little dimension. Once it was completed I added a little ribbon and was done. The project really didn't take much time to complete. My goal is to make two more to hang on the mantel.
The holiday season really puts me in a crafty mood. I think I've got four or more projects I'm working on at a time.
We've got some really cute Christmas items we're working on...stay tuned for some project ideas.
