Christmas Wreath

My friend told me about this cute wreath she had seen on Our Best Bites. She said she immediately thought of me, because I've made quite a few of those rolled flowers. I picked up the wreath at Walmart for $3.50 and the silver accent was $ .75, not too shabby. So I just rolled these flowers with the material I had from the yo-yo necklace and glued them onto felt and then glued them onto the wreath. Quick, easy and festive. This is another thing that B had on his Christmas list that is now crossed off!

Fabric Necklace Goodness

I've wanted to make one of these necklaces for soooo long. And I noticed I had a few rolled flowers that I never did anything with, so I decided it was time for a necklace.
This is what I did:
Rolled the flowers and hand sewed them.
I got a piece of felt for the back and glued the flowers on the way that I wanted them.
Then I got a chain and fit it to the length I wanted and added a toggle to the ends.
Then I sewed the ends of the chains onto the felt, the end!

I think I want to make one for Christmas too!

I can't stop!

Well I know that my suppose to be weekly posts have skipped a week or two. But I have a good reason, I had a lot of Relief Society things that I needed to get done. But I have been able to get a few things started. With that out of the way, let me just say that I have recently talked to a few ladies that have all boys and sometimes it's a little hard to wear "girly things" when you have all boys. I don't want to look out of place next to all things boys. But alas, I am a girl. I have a friend who has been wearing some cute accessories lately and get this, she doesn't look out of place. So I've been thinking I need to have some more accessories. So I think I am going to get back to making bracelets and I think I may even make a necklace. GASP! Anyway here is a black bracelet, really who doesn't need one of these. And it was free, because I already had all the stuff! Love it!

Here is another one of these addicting bracelets that I made for a neighbor.

Again, sorry about the extremely white arms, it is what it is.

Scripture Puppets

I had remembered that I had started some scripture puppets in my old Ward. Our goal this year is to do let the kids get more involved with FHE. Then I thought about these guys...

Book of Mormon Puppets

Lehi

Nephi

There are all kinds of variations that you could do. I had started these way back when but I think that I will make some more. All you need is a little felt and old fabric scraps. The pattern has ideas for righteous and wicked puppets, boys and girls meant to look old and young. I think this will be fun. I'll post when I finish some more.

Blocks

This week I decided to finish something that I started like last year. Micah cut down the wood, then I sanded and painted the edges. Then I used mod podge to put the scrapbook paper on. Then I went over to one of my scrapbooking sister's house and cut out the letters then pulled out the mod podge again. They can say lots of fun things and I love the colors. This is what it will say for the next little bit.

Fabric Bracelet

I had so much fun last week making the headbands that I thought I would try it on a bracelet. I liked how it turned out and I think I might make a few more of these.
It looks cuter on, the flowers go all the way around.

Fabric Headbands

My sister was over for the holidays and she had this really cute headband. She told me how much she paid and I wasn't interested, so we made some of our own. My sister, Katelin, wanted more vintage inspired fabrics so this is what we came up with.


They were so easy even my
Mom made one!
