Wreather Madness

ALL OF A SUDDEN I WANTED TO MAKE A WREATH!

So peculiar.

I saw this on Pinterest and had it in the back of my mind... enter long weekend sans spouse.

So I went to Michael's and purchased 5 balls of yarn, all of which were consumed:

It was a little time consuming but yielded a bright and textural wreath.  In the evening I made the pom poms then had to go back to Michael's today for a hot glue gun.  While I was there I spotted all these glittery feathery spooky-glam odds and ends... and thought, I'LL MAKE ANOTHER WREATH!

 

I especially liked these glittery crows, I named them Sheryl and Russell.

Pinterest, YouTube and even Google seemed bare of feather wreath tutorials.  Having never done it before, and spent a rather astonishing $60 on supplies (the wreath was $15, the doodads about $1-$4 apiece), I wanted a little direction.  Finding it lacking, I just hot glued everything on there.  Voila, wreath #2.

It looks better in person- in the photos the black roses and leaves blend with the feathers.  Next time: more contrast.  All in all an empowering trip to the craft store.

Oh and this chair?  He and his partner are destined for a fab makeover as part of Operation Loving the Living Room.  These chairs are big and comfy and wonderful and I cannot wait to reimagine them.  BRIGHT!
