B is for... Burlap!

So I got this wonderfully, cute, crafty idea from Tatertots and Jello (see the link on the left) it's a wreath made of scrap fabric, burlap, and some bling... so naturally it's appealing since all the ingredients equal = cheap! Not to mention it's easy, kids can help, and it gave me something to do for 3 hours... Although I didn't escape without injury. I got a blister on my thumb (I think I hold scissors awkwardly or something) and of course... a hot glue burn on my lil finger- ouch! But totally worth it...



I got a straw wreath ($1.50) and burlap ($3) at Hobby Lobby, gathered up some scrap fabric at my moms, and busted out the scrapbooking bling I had already... easy as pie...



I little cutting here, a little gluing there... and badda-bling-badda-bloom! Bedazzled burlap blossoms! Haha- that was a mouthful... then I just attached them to the wreath (this took the longest since I have to strategically place things in random... I think it's because everything has to be symmetrical in my head, so random is not natural to me... anyway- I ended up with this! Now I just need a front door to hang it on...
