Spring Craft Project

A few weeks ago Matt and I had Spring Break!  It was great to relax, celebrate his birthday, and do all kinds of other fun things!  By the end of the week though I was kind of tired of just sitting around so I decided to make a door wreath that my friend Hilary Whalen had emailed me about.  It took me a while to post the pictures because my camera battery was dead, and well.....I just never got around to charging it until yesterday!  Here are some pictures of the final product!

This is more of a winter-one

My Summer one! Since it was 100 degrees in Phoenix yesterday I thought this was appropriate.

I bought a round Styrofoam wreath at Michael's and wrapped yarn around and around and around, for what seemed like forever.  I had to stick the big yarn ball in and out of the inner circle over and over...I don't know if there is a better way to do it than that, but it worked!  The flowers are made out of felt.  The directions that I had said to glue the flowers onto the wreath but I wanted to make them interchangeable so I just pinned them in.  Now I can change the colors according to the seasons :) I know so cute right?
