a last minute Christmas craft

This project is so easy, it literally takes 10 minutes.

You can use any leftover ornaments and all you need is a wire hanger or wire.

I didn't have any so I went to the local dollar tree and bought about 50. Some of you may have seen this picture I posted on facebook. Funny stuff...

This was my inspiration, but I wanted a Christmas one so I bought Christmas colors, but it would work year round.

Just for good measure we hot glued all the tops so they wouldn't come off...

 Unfortunately I didn't have a wire hanger and neither did my sister, so instead i bought some floral wire thinking it would work...but it didn't. As we strung them on we soon realized the wire was too flimsy and when we connected the ends it was more like an oval, not a circle. We improvised though and tied down the ends and I just left it like this and strung it across my mantel.

It's still cute and easy, but if you want a wreath you will need to use a wire hanger.

Conference Craft

My sister and I decided to do a craft during the Priesthood session of conference. We wanted to do something Fall/Halloween and decided on wreaths. Since her door is dark and mine is light we chose different wreaths. There were so many cute options! I literally had Ryan choose it for me because I couldn't decide. It was so easy and only cost $11. I found mine here

Supplies

-16 in foam wreath

-thick yarn (i bought wool)

-yellow and black felt

-thick card stock

First, I wrapped the yarn around around the wreath. The foam wreaths are great because the yarn sticks right to it.

I traced the bat found here onto the cardstock then cut it onto the felt. 

I cut out two eyes from the yellow felt and used a bowl to trace for the moon. I hot glued them on and that's it!

Toni's was much harder and more complicated because all we had to go off was an image on etsy. We looked hard at how it was made and ended up getting so frustrated. We wrapped and unwrapped it three times, had to run to the store for more gauze, then realized we didn't even need it, but hers will be so cute when finished, and it didn't cost $120 like you could buy it on etsy.
