Sally’s
craft class is called the “Crafty Wenches” and we get together every fortnight.
Usually Sally, has between 4 and 10 crafters attend, and yesterday we had mother/daughter
team Liz and Sophie, Anne and myself.
Monday's theme was the new “Burlap
and Blooms” Simply Created Wreath Kit {NZ$35.95 #133333}, and to be fair you
need to allow 3 hours for this gorgeous project ...
The Kit comes complete with everything
you need provided; however I did add a couple of gorgeous butterflies to my
Wreath from the “Papillon
Potpourri” stamp set.
My favourite part was putting
together the fringe flowers, these are genius, and so easy to replicate, with
some DSP and the new Fringe Scissors {NZ$19.95 #133325}.
The wrapping of the Burlap around
the flattened Wreath is very therapeutic, and quite easy to create such a stunning
rustic/shabby chic piece of art.
I love the way that you can
{carefully} remove the flowers to change up the Wreath for any season or any occasion
… think Valentine’s Day, Christmas, Easter …
Here are some step-by step photos I took {one handed!!!}...
This Simply Created Wreath Kit has
recently been released, in the new “Celebrate The Everyday” Occasions Brochure,
available 28.01.2014 till 30.06.2014
The only downside of making this
gorgeous Wreath, is that I burnt my fingers terribly with the HOT glue gun!!!

If you look closely at the Wreaths made by the ladies, you will see they have added their own individual touches ... can you spot the Dragonflies, Pearls, Rhinestones and Decorative Leaves?
I ♥ that we each started out with the same Kit, yet each of our projects turned out so differently!
I hope you have as much fun making your "Burlap and Blooms" Wreath as we did!
