So, I am still trying to use up the bolt of red burlap that I got this summer for $2.00.And decided to put a twist on all those Christmas hanger ball wreaths that we did.
I laid out about 8 feet of burlap and cut four, six-inch strips.
Then, using an untwisted hanger as a “needle” threaded the strips back and forth.
Twisted off the hanger to make a wreath shape and added layers of ribbon and a L.O.V.E sign that I Martha glittered!
I still have enough burlap to make oh… a few hundred more!
F.Y.I... If for some reason your daughter happens to “accidently” drop her itouch in the sink, while brushing her teeth, listing to I Gotta a Feeling. Then proceeds to earn herself an Oscar over her reaction.
Dry off the phone, turn it off, and drop it into a bag of dry rice. This will pull the moisture out and, if you are lucky, will restore life to ‘I Gotta to a Feeling’.
Never use a hairdryer, as this will only push the water deeper into your device.

Cute! Sweet and festive! The other couple hundred can go in your Etsy store! :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat tip about the itouch {or any of those devices}! I think everyone's first thought would be to dry it as quickly as possible, so the hair dryer is the first thought.
ReplyDeleteLove this wreath, Kate! I don't even decorate for Valentine's Day {I used to for the kids when they were little}, but I'd put this up in a minute! Seems like you are getting your monies worth and more from that burlap.
Me again. I just wanted to find out if you are going to put any in your Etsy shop? I left the comment before I looked.
ReplyDeletethis is so cute, and since you have so much left over, go ahead and make one for me. I'll send you my address. :) This is seriously adorable. I've seen similar ones in the regular beige burlap, but the red is really pretty!
