Fall Wreath TUT!

I'm hooking up with Jennifer Juniper again for TUTORIAL TUESDAY!
Where lots of crafty peeps get together each week and share!

AND

 
I really wanted a new fall wreath.
I used several ideas I had seen and created my own.

The following supplies are needed..

Glue Gun
Plain wreath-$5
Burlap-$2
Felt-$4
Scissors
Ribbon
Scrapbook Paper

Cut the burlap into about 3 inch strips

Wrap and glue burlap around wreath

Cut felt into 1 inch strips, fold in 1/2 and ROLL UP!
Also you can add a second color in to make bi colored flowers

Glue flowers on wreath

Then I just took a piece of brown ribbon, glued it to the back of the wreth, cut out some letters from scrapbooking paper and clipped them on with some tiny clothespins I had from a previous project.

AND VOILA, A PRETTY FALL WREATH! 

I LOVE THE WAY IT TURNED OUT!
HAPPY FALL!

78 Cent Jewelry Organizer!

HEY ALL! I'm linking up with Jennifer Juniper over at HOPE STUDIOS for her TUTORIAL TUESDAY!


Usually I am busy checking out what all the crafty peeps over there each week are making but never creative enough to join the party..
 BELIEVE IT OR NOT,
I made my OWN CRAFTY PHENOMENON this week!


I have been GOING BATS on Sunday mornings-not just because I have 7 kids to get ready for church but also LOOKING FOR JEWELRY! It's always all tangled up and mangled up so I have be wracking/racking (dictionary.com says both versions are right.) my brain to find something to declutter this mess.

My post partum brain CLICKED IN today and I did the below project in literally 10 minutes..

I had some old burlap, an old frame and I called THE CAPTAIN while he was at Wally World and said "hey pick me up some type of little hooks." He came home with red ones-2 packs of 5 for 39 cents each .

I took the glass out of the old frame, cut the burlap the size of the cheap cardboard backing inside the frame and covered it.  Put it back in the frame and pushed those little tabs down to hold it in place.

Measured the frame, marked it accordingly with a pencil, drilled 10 tiny pilot holes.

Then I let my 2 four year olds screw those puppies in RED AND ALL, didn't even spray paint them black (like I normally to EVERYTHING) since my bedroom is red!


AND VOILA!!

It took me all of 2 minutes to hang up the earrings..

 And all of 2 minutes to hang up the necklaces & bracelets!

For 78 cents and 10 minutes work
AHHHH! NO MORE TANGLES!

What do you think???
She's CRAFTAY!
