However the other day I was looking through my fabric stash and found this beautiful apricot colored satin trim. It once belonged to a blanket that I cut up to make more of my owlies. I took the trim and wrapped it around the wreath. Kept it all in place with some white dressmaking pins. I then cut up some felt butterflies in a matching apricot color and also used pins to keep them in place. Finally, I used the pages of an old book I found during a recent council clean up. A paper punch used to give them their shape. Here is the finished wreath:
It now decorates our apartment door.
It only took me less than 15 minutes and really cost $2.99 for the wreath as everything else I had here at home.
ps: Dear Santa....If you are reading this post....please I would love love love one of these for Christmas. As my mobile phone camera no longer does it for me.
How funny - my husband and I are thinking of getting this one -
