Yarn Wreath with Felt Flowers

I have been OBSESSED with felt flowers this year!  I love them ALL!  I have also fallen in love with all the different DIY wreaths so when I came across some blogs showing wreaths with felt flowers, I HAD to make one (okay maybe more than one...).

When buying the felt all the colors I was drawn too were actually not felt, they were fleece.  So I ended up making most of the flowers out of the fleece.  The little white one on the top picture is felt.  I really can't tell the difference in material these flowers.  I did find a difference when I made a flower like this out of fleece, it was just not firm enough.  The yarn is soooo soft!  It is Bernat Baby Blanket.  I actually wrapped it twice around the form because I wanted to be able to squeeze it!  The form is 10 or 12" from the dollar store.  The leaves are felt that I airbrushed with several green Copic markers and then die cut with the leaf die from Spellbinders.

I hung them above the fireplace.  I am thinking that I need to turn one so that the flowers are not going in the same direction... What do you think?

Inexpensive Apothecary Jars

I saw this while cruising the net and thought what a cool idea!  So after about four trips to the dollar store I finally had all the supplies!  I know there are only two items!  (In mine)  One store had the candlesticks and not the jars and the other had nothing!  So I waited a week and went back and one store had the jars and the other the candlesticks!  We only have the Dollar Tree around here and only two of them within 15 mins.  So I spent more on gas then on the project!  It was fun though!  I think they turned out really well and will look great as soon as I decide what to put in them and where in the house they are going to live.

I was worried about the glue showing and them not being level but nothing to worry about they turned out fine.  Here is a close up of the glue, you can't see it!

Multi Challenge Card - Thinking of You

I made this card for several challenges.  This was one of the quickest cards I have made in a long time, I usually ponder for hours before actually putting something together.   I haven't been making cards for the last few weeks, I have just been sitting here staring at all my goodies and not one idea came to mind until I saw this at CR84FN I love the colors! So I went in search of a layout and found this one at Card Patterns and then this one at OCC.  I have been obsessed with these flowers, (ok ALL fabric flowers) for the last few months.  This one of my first attempts at making them.  This is a crepe material which takes a little longer to melt then the satin but looks similar.  Most of the flowers I have seen out there have all of the burnt edges cut off but I kind of like it.  Maybe that is because I can't seem to keep little brown and black spots off the real flowers I grow...  Thanks for stopping by!
