Christmas present for my parents

I finished it last night and I can't decide if I'm 100% happy with it or not :/  DH just says I'm too close to the project but idk I feel like the roses look weird or something..or maybe its because I burnt half the skin off my finger with my hot glue gun last night making it so I have a resentment towards it haha. What do you all think though? Be honest please! I don't want it to be the kinda gift to my parents where they like it because you made it because you are their kid ya know haha

Re: Christmas present for my parents

  • I like it. The only thing I might be inclined to change would be the placement of 2 of the roses. The 3rd from the bottom on the left could come in towards the middle of the heart a litte, and the 3rd from the bottom on the right could too. But really, I think you did a great job.

  • you are so talented! I really love the idea and it looks amazing. I do agree with Mrs. Jesse about the positioning of the 2 roses, bring them in a little more to the center. Other than that, it is perfect. Your parents are going to just love it!
  • You're so crafty, Laura! I think it looks great! Did you make those ear muffs yet?
  • Thanks ladies!!

    Jess explain to me again haha are you talking about the two roses that are closed to the point of the heart or the two roses are are at the top of the curved ridge?

    Ainslee I haven't made the ear muffs yet!! I need to get to khol's to get the ear muffs first, we spent a little more shopping yesterday than we planned on it so the trip to Khol's got put off haha. I'm going to try to go tomorrow while I'm out getting our nephew's present so hopefully I can PIP to show you ladies that when I'm done!

     I have a confession...I seriously think I have become ADDICTED to crafting haha. I started following all these craft blogs and want to try EVERYTHING! It's so terrible! haha as soon as I finish one project I'm like..ok now what!!! Although I must admit after making 6 wreaths for everyone for Christmas I can say that I will be happy to take a break from that lol. It's soo hard because I want to post pictures of all of them on facebook to show people but the people they are for are on facebook so... haha  Thank you everyone for putting up with all my PIP's to show them off :)

  • PIP anytime you want :) I love looking at all the fun stuff you create!
  • love it!!! i agree about the rose placement too (and i believe they are talking about the ones from the point at the bottom). reminds me of secret garden or something! the colors go so well together :)

  • oook! I thought so too but then I thought well..maybe she meant the ones at the top haha. It does sorta look like something from that movie, I love the moss on it. I love it even more because the roses on it are from the first time DH got me roses after being married and I dried them out before they died. I kind of want to keep it for myself but DH promised me more roses in the future so I'll just make one for myself then! ;)
  • Personally, I really like it! Your DH is probably right, you're too close to it.

    If you're still not sure, maybe make another one....and keep one for yourself but give the one you like the best to your parents. (If you're willing to make another one lol).

    So sorry about your finger!
