I was inspired by Crap I've Made. Char made an adorable shamrock wreath, and I had to try it. I glued 4 styrofoam hearts together to make the shamrock shape. This was a little tricky, but I finally used layers of hot glue and felt in between the hearts to secure it. (I debated about adding a stem, and finally did AFTER taking the pictures!) I have to admit that I got a little sick of cutting circles out of green felt by the time I was done. But I dare you to find ANY styrofoam peeking through!!
Many of you know my struggles with my very orange apartment door. There's just nothing I can do about it. I don't mind how my shamrock looks on it. But it looked like a giant green blob. I had to do something about it.
So I added a little burlap flower in the center.
Much better, don't you think?!
Okay. Just one more view.

Super cute! Was this hard to do? I might give it a whirl, or something similar.
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Holly! I am glad someone shares my obsession. I am addicted!
ReplyDeleteFrugal Designer... this wasn't HARD. Just time consuming. Cutting out all of those green felt circles took forever. And with this wreath, the styrofoam wasn't thick enough, and I had to use hot glue to secure the felt with the pins. Anyway, I had second thoughts in the middle of the wreath, but had to finish it! I am glad it is DONE. The felt heart wreath was much easier.
Darling!
ReplyDeleteI love the contrast that the flower adds! Great Job!
