clark|pharm: Yarn Wreath, Felt Flowers, Big Headache

Have I mentioned I'm addicted to Pinterest? Cause I am. It's a problem.

I found this wreath during my routine four hours of daily pinning. I couldn't help myself, I had to make one.

I've also seen a bajillion pins involving little felt flower/rosette thingys. I need those too.

I made a trip to Hobby Lobby, came home with a foam wreath, yarn, a few pieces of felt (actually, those were from JoAnn's), and motivation.

However cute you think these yarn wreaths are, do not be deceived. They suck. Or maybe I don't have the know-how to wrap a wreath with yarn easily. This baby took me hours. Not kidding. I had a headache from grinding my teeth by the time I was finished.

When I started, I got this much done before I got fed up and quit until the next day:

But I really, really, really wanted a wreath. So I kept on, keeping on.

Four weeks later (kidding!) I was finished and was able to start my flowers. I was actually working on four projects at once, and the project which I decided to take rosette-making-pictures during is not this one. It's a different project. An un-blogged project. A soon-to-be blogged project.

Forgive me.

These were my first felt flowers ever. Don't worry, I got better at them as I went. You'll see.

During a few episodes of Law & Order SVU, a few loads of laundry, and a few snacks, I finished the rest of the flowers.

I attached the little boogers with hot glue. I love hot glue. I love my hot glue gun.
