After searching high and low through my attic looking for a VALENTINES day wreath I finally came to the conclusion that:
a) I never had one
b) I just can’t find it, or
c) I threw it away
I really don’t feel like going to the store to buy any because,
a) I am too lazy today
b) I have enough things around my house to make one AND
c) I like homemade things much much more than store bough.
I know, even though you buy it in the store “someoneeeee” made it but it’s way different when you make it with your own two hands!!! I started thinking of different things to make it with and then I opened up my HUGE closet full of FABRIC! It all came to me then!
Strips of fabric tied to a wire wreath. I feel like it will be “homemade” enough and super cute! Not sure if you would consider it shabby chic valentiney or country chic! Let’s just say it’s “VALENTABBYCHIC“…. {{teehehe}}
I hope everyone is had a great weekend, don’t forget it’s almost SUPER BOWL time. Are you throwing a party? We are having a HUGE party and I can’t wait to show you all of my decorations! Ya know, I don’t even really like football (slap in the mouth right about nowwww). Can you believe that? I just like everything else that comes along with it!
Come on, let’s get to crafting!!!
Grab some fabric that reminds you of “valentine’s day”. You can use reds, pinks, whites and black too!!!
I got this metal round skeleton wreath at Michaels Arts and Crafts. It was in some crazy section but maybe someone just misplaced it and I came to save it!
Get your Martha Stewart scissors! These suckers seriously, CUT EVERYTHING. I am sure I shouldn’t be cutting all of the things I cut with them but hey….you live once 🙂 Plus they are from her. I want to use them 24-7
Cut your fabric into strips like this!!! I didn’t measure the strips I just cut! Some are thick and some are thin!!!
Start wrapping your strips around the wire. OVER AND OVER!!!! Until it’s fullllll!!!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE WAY IT CAME OUT! Isn’t it so “valentabbychic“!!!! I hope you have fun making this craft and have fun cutting all of those strips!!!!! {{boy lemme tell you it get’s boringggg}}!
Sending you RED, WHITE and PINK hugs,
