As I’ve blogged about here, a lot of my recent craft
projects have been either full on or borderline craft-tastrophies. After
Easter, we needed a wreath to get us to Memorial Day (we have a nice little
red, white and blue wreath). After a day at the craft store, I came home with the
items shown below and decided I’d go for a little S painted chevron wreath. But
I wasn’t sure how I was going to get to that with the items that I picked up…
First I wrapped the wreath in the hemp. This seriously
took almost an hour. As I was wrapping, I used hot glue on the help to ensure
that it would stay.
Next up, I painted the S with a chevron pattern. I
printed some chevron off of the internet and used it as a guide.
So after the S was dry, I had a rope wreath and an S.
Originally, I wanted to put the S on the side with some rosettes down the
other, but the S was a bit too heavy.
So I decided to go S at the top, rosettes at the bottom.
While it’s been on our door since April, I don’t love it,
but I don’t hate it. I think the rosettes could have been bigger, but I intended to put them down the side vs. at the bottom and was running out of ribbon. Thoughts? Love it or hate it?
