I would just like to AW some of my christmas gifts :)
I'm making wreaths for DH's family and just finished the last one tonight! Sorry the lighting isn't the best in these pictures, my camera wasn't really cooperating haha.
Re: I would just like to AW some of my christmas gifts :)
Which one haha the first one I found a picture off, but the other two DH went with me to pick out the colors for it and I just kind of played around with stuff.
The snowman one was actually pretty easy, just different size styrofoam balls painted white and then I used beads for the eyes and a toothpick piece for the nose and then the mittens/scarf are felt.
The rest of the things I just glued on with my trusty hot glue gun
Thanks ladies!! I can't take 100% credit for the creativity though haha DH helped me with the last two. I have that "everything has to be perfectly symmetrical" type mindset and the last 2 weren't working out well at all when I laid everything out but DH came down and helped give me some ideas, hes a lot better not following inside the lines haha. I can make anything if I have a picture of it, but not so much if I'm just trying to wing it usually.
I'm really happy with how they turned out too
Thanks ladies for all the compliments!!
I was super nervous about the 2nd one after it was done trying to decide if it was good enough. I think its b/c its for my SIL and with all the drama we've had with the wedding and stuff I'm afraid that she'll just hate it, but maybe since you all like it then she will like it too!!
The snowman one is for DH's grandma, I figured a more "cute" one would be a good one for them
And then the red and silver is for MIL/FIL
I want to put up our xmas tree now after working on xmas presents haha. I love love love christmas time! I think I'm going to make a heart wreath for my mom out of dried roses (assuming that the roses I'm drying turn on well) I'll have to PIP when I finish it if it works!
