Yes I admit it I'm a copy cat!!! I just can't help myself, alot of you have been making those really cool sheet music wreaths so of course I had to make me one. I have seen so many awesome ones out there. My favorite is Miss Mustard Seed, I just love everything she does everything she makes looks aged and so soft, her creations just speak to me!!
In the past I saw sheet music everywhere but lately it's been hard to find. Maybe a few crafters out there are scoopin it up. Well I finally found some the other day so my cone makin started that night.
I just wrapped a dollar store wreath with left over ribbon. I also attached a little loop on the back for hanging.
Then the fun begins gluing... gluing...and more gluing. I just went around the wreath then went back and filled in the spots. I wanted it to be full so I did a lot of gluing.
I likey.... but I wanted to add something to the middle to finish it off plus it helps clean it up a bit.
For my medallion I cut out a circle using a bowl and a cereal box. I wanted it to have some fluff so I used adhesive sprayed on the cardboard added my batting then my bee motif on linen. You know me I love burlap so I added a burlap ruffle. Thanks to Restore Interiors she showed us the other day how to make an easy ruffle just by pulling one of the threads wow... thank you!!! Thank goodness I didn't have to dig out the ole sewing machine. Then I hot glued the ruffle on the back of the cardboard. (Please ignore my nails I have ink under them I promise it's not dirt.)
I'm sorry I love the bee... I know I know I put it on everything!!
I love all the bees on everything! Can you tell me where you got that great bee stamp...I have been searching everywhere.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job, the wreath is just beautiful. I've been wanting to make my own cone wreath but so far I've been a little intimidated! I might have to just buy one.
