Valentine Wreath

After Christmas the house looks so plain!  I am attempting to make up for that by making Valentine crafts.



I saw this cute garland here, but I am to lazy to go to all that trouble and time.  I dug through my scraps (so glad I keep my scrap ribbon aren't you?)  I ripped strips of fabric about 1"x4" give or take and inch.


 Now here comes the lazy part.  I got out some fold over Elastic (only because it was pink and I thought it would show less, it could have been any elastic)  I went to the sewing machine and started stuffing the bits under the foot, sewing it right to the elastic which I pulled as I sewed.

Wrapped around this wreath that I had picked up at the Dollar Tree last fall and never did anything with.  Hung it up.  Now that was a quick 15 minutes!  My kind of craft :)


Well I just had to add another 5 minutes to my wreath. What do you think of some roses?

  3. That is a great wreath. I like that better than the ones made just of fabric. The wood gives it a nice touch.
