valentine's day wreath

I have been a crafting fool this weekend. It has been wonderful. :)

Our pastor has talked a bit about doing things that recharge you and taking time to do the things you enjoy and that make you you.  Crafting is definitely one of those rechargers.

So I had no real inspiration for this wreath- other than the fact that February is right around the corner and we have little to no decor for this holiday in the Coffey House. 

I got the wreath from Hobby Lobby, used a 40% coupon and I think I got it for 3 or 4 dollars.  Bought the cherry blossom ribbon, and used things I already had around for the rest.

***Special "feature" to note- I finally learned how to make those awesome fabric rosettes today! Thank you to those who posted great tutorials for me to follow- not sure what I'd do without those.**

Ready? Ta-Da!

There are the cute little rosettes! Ribbon for the leaves and a button for the middle. I also glued some x o x o embellishments.

And there it is on our door! :)

  2. That is so pretty! I love what you did with the flowers - hope Kirsty's video was helpful - she's a star!
    The pink ribbon is cute too - and I like all the extra little embellishments... so sweet.
