One Wreath that Turned into Twelve


I'm sure many of you crafty folks out there are always looking for a new challenge. Me, I am no different. I kept seeing these beautiful college football wreaths on our neighbor’s doors, and decided that we needed to have one too. Not just for the fact that our neighborhood is a little LSU saturated and needed a some Razorback red to liven things up a bit, but because I needed a new challenge. So I gave it a try. Here is what I came with:

 
I shared a picture with my sister and she loved it! She asked if I could make other teams, like say…, Duke, her husband’s favorite team. I said Sure! Why not! Here’s how that one turned out:

 
After some encouragement, she convinced me to ask my Facebook friends what they thought about them, and if they would want one too. Twelve wreath orders later, needless to say they have been very popular!
 


I have teacher door wreaths, monogram wreaths, Christmas themed, and more sports wreaths on the way! So that’s what I have been working on this week! It was a supposed to be a quick challenge that turned into a BIG one. But I’m having fun filling these orders! And I’m learning all kinds of new techniques for wreath making! If you have any questions please let me know and as always thanks for stopping by!

Pin It!

Thanks SherryBee! Crafting in the car was an adventure, let me tell you! A few months later I am still cleaning the glitter out of my car! I will be teaching a craft class on the wreaths in the coming months and will post the tutorial then. Thanks so much for checking out my blog!
