Yesterday I had a sneezy headache stuffy head kind of day. Around 2:30, I laid down for a nap which ended up being a looooooong nap. As a result, I could not get to sleep last night! So I stayed up late and did some crafting and pricing of inventory.
I decided to make another wreath for Valentine's Day using vintage red velveteen ribbon, a big chunky wreath form and old book pages.
I wrapped and wrapped and wrapped the red ribbon around the wreath form securing it with hot glue here and there as I went. This is not difficult, but does take a little while. I made a bunch of spiral rosettes out of antique dictionary pages and attached with hot glue to the ribbon wrapped wreath form.
Here's the final product.....
To create a wreath hanger on the back, I looped a small length of ribbon and secured it to the wreath from with two T pins.
The whole project probably took a good hour and a half. The rosettes are very time consuming!
