    This lit­tle project was lit­er­al­ly what one might call a “hap­py lit­tle acci­dent” Mak­ing a mini mag­no­lia wreath was not real­ly where I was head­ed with this one.

It was the that I was left no choice but to think on my feel with what I had in front of me and boy did it turn out cute! Start with a small piece of flo­ral wire. In my case I recy­cled some…

    1:17 PM - By 

    If you know me then you know how much I enjoy walk­ing the isles of the dol­lar store. It’s excit­ing to see all the amaz­ing good­ies you can find for $1. Even if the prod­uct itself is a lit­tle “meh” I encour­age you to think out­side the box and imag­ine it with a fresh coat of paint or re pur­posed into some­thing com­plete­ly different!  In this case a lit­tle spray paint and a coat of laquer was all I need­ed to trans­form a cheap look­ing tray into a beau­ti­ful piece of farm­house fall decor!

    Do you just ever acci­den­tal­ly make some­thing awe­some. Yeah, it does­n’t hap­pen often for me either but when it does…ohhh boy it makes me hap­py! Some­thing else that makes my heart hap­py is clean­ing and orga­niz­ing. This fun lit­tle fact about me is NOT very appar­ent if you look at my craft space!

    There is only one thing bet­ter than buf­fa­lo check.…buffalo check flannel! This project all stemmed from my need for pump­kins to min­gle in with my fall decor.

You’re gonna need the poly­fil for later. Next comes your fab­ric.
