Wreath Making

 

I was digging around in the garage this morning, and kept moving aside piles of wood and trim that I have been hoarding collecting, when I realized, hey maybe I should do something with some of this!

I made 3 stars out of the trim and stapled vintage lace curtains to the back. 

{Don't tell my husband, but I couldn't find the saw so I used one of the good kitchen knives to cut the trim with. Shhhhhh}

Then I painted a few of the old wood pieces with Christmas sayings.

 Ok, so I am not usually a wreath fan. I know they are a hot Christmas item, but it's never really been my thing.

 I've had these two wreaths sitting around all plain and sad looking for about two years now so I figured it was time to break out some burlap and some of my stamped ribbon and dress them.

 Which leads me to wonder, why oh why have I not thought to pair burlap with the stamped ribbon before? Seriously! I loooove this look!

 This one is on the simple side, with a coffee filter flower and vintage mercury glass ornie in the canter, surrounded by some tulle. I like simple during the holidays.

 I still haven't started decorating the house. I've been up to my ears prepping for markets. 

Maybe next week I will get around to it! And then there is the poor neglected bathroom that I started on and haven't finished. 

*Sigh* I'll get there....eventually!
