Getting ready for Halloween in Murray

Greetings from Murray

I recently completed a fun Halloween wreath I'd like to share with you.

My original idea came from
http://www.flamingotoes.com/2010/09/beware-halloween-wreath/ 

 Isn't this cute?

So I began to try to put my version together and here it is.

I started with just a plain round wreath and began to tie strips of black tulle around the entire thing (see directions from website above).

Then I put a fun pink (not orange, not purple, but pink) feather boa in the center.

Don't you just love the color?  I then just simply painted the word, "Beware" on an unstained wood disc from the Walmart craft aisle.  Then to glam it up a bit I used crystal-like sequined stickers to outline it.

 I couldn't find a raven as was in the original wreath from Flamingo Toes so I used spiders that I got from the Dollar Tree.

 SCARY!

Here's what it looked like when I put it all together.

I love Halloween and enjoy decorating for it.

Hope you enjoy.

Fabric Wreath

Greetings from Murray. 

I have a project that I just completed this weekend and would love for you to see.  I used this tutorial, 

http://www.skiptomylou.org/2011/08/10/fabric-flower-tutorial for my flowers and they turned out so cute.

I used 3 different fabrics plus some black burlap.

I used a black and white toile, a gingham, and a stripe.

Then I used that tutorial and started making my flowers.

I then covered a button with the same material to finish off  the flower.

I made some little burlap rosettes by simply rolling them into a flower.

I added some pearl flower picks and then just started putting them together in a pleasing arrangement on my wreath.

I made a tulle bow and voila.

Here's how the finished product looks.

This is how it looks on the wall.

In our bedroom.

It was a fun project and I hope you like it as well.

Front door wreath

I finally finished my front door wreath for Spring, but unfortunately it is raining and the wind is blowing so hard here in Murray that I'm not displaying it yet.  I hope you like it.  From Murray, Kathy
