I know that I have been a slacker on posting on this blog but I am going to turn over a new leaf and try harder. I have no excuse except to say that I haven't stopped creating things I just have forgot to post them. Sad story - I know. ;) So without further ado I wanted to show the cute wreath that I made. I have been wanted to try this for forever and I bought the supplies a million months ago but it has been sitting waiting. So over the weekend I pulled it out and made it. I bought a dollar store foam wreath and the craft paper was from the dollar store too so I am in it a total of $2. Don't you love this kind of crafts! I channeled my elementary self and made a grown-up version of the tissue paper art. I can't remember what blog had this idea so I can't give proper credit but I love it! After cutting a million flowers later (I love my cricut for this)- I started to glue. You take an unsharpened pencil and put it in the middle of the flower. You then fold the flower up around the pencil and put a dab of hot glue on it. You then glue it onto the wreath. Easy as pie! Look at the finished product - I must say it is darling!
So my little girl promptly told everyone that the wreath was for her room and I had to agree. I have wanted to incorporate teal into her room for a while now. It is currently pink and brown. So with this wreath in her room I figured that she needed more teal and told myself that I was going to paint her dresser. I put a base coat of a dark chocolate brown and then put the teal paint on it. Lastly I glazed it with some cream paint. I love how it turned out. It is very calming to me. I think because it reminds me of the sea. I then sanded some of the paint off the edges and look how it turned out:
So I hope that you enjoyed the crafts I made and I am looking forward to posting more.
See you later!
