The Burlap Wreath and me!

I haven't posted in quite a while, because I am a horrible person when trying to upkeep all of the blogs I have, as well as trying to do things on a day to day basis.  I wanted to share my latest crafting project though!

Before I share, last night I kind of went off the deep end. I've been very anxious lately, due to some issues, and I tend to internalize.  But I have no time to break down because I have a family to take care of and a business to run! So I tend to refocus that energy. And I spent about 4 hours in the middle of the night looking up things on Pinterest, and found "Dollar Store Crafts".  My mind=blown!

I LOVE the dollar store. I LOVE crafting. Why did I not find out about this blog sooner??!?!  So many cute ideas!

Im almost ashamed at how much money I spent today in regards to buying things to craft. But in my defense, I also purchased a drill, which is something I have needed for quite a while.  And that was the most costly item!

So without further ado, my wonderful burlap wreath. Which only costs $7 to make!!!


So basically, I got one of those wooden wreaths from the dollar store. A roll of burlap which was $6 at walmart, and I already had this white, knit fabric at home.  You simply wrap the burlap around the wreath, tightly, and glue it into place.  Then make the little rosettes by cutting a strip of fabric (the longer the strip the bigger your flower will be), wrapping the strip around itself, while twisting it as you go along, and glue in place. Bam!
